This is such a good idea - news orgs should do more of this.
Just noticed that @publico.pt does a very clever thing with the crossword in their app: if a clue refers to something in the news, there’s a link. Obviously means you can cheat, but also means you get informed. Really like it.

They didn't even bother taking the windows out. All of that stuff, all of it, is protected under law as museum objects under NPS authority but a notorious grifter like Trump couldn't even figure out a way to sell authentic windows from the White House?

One thing I learned TA'ing for Alex Filippenko was that letting students make arbitrarily detailed cheat sheets was a fantastic way to let certain students organize their thoughts and distill class information. A learning experience that helped them on the test much more than the cheat sheet did!
We allow students to use handwritten „cheat sheets“ in the written exam of the introductory astro block course. This time, for the first time, we asked for those “cheat sheets” to be handed in, along with the examen. And I’m awed by the handwritten microfiche some of the sheets represent :-) 🔭⚛️🧪

Ooooffff - had a sudden burst of nostalgia as I was visiting my former professors, sat in on a few classes and went to Southpoint mall to hangout for a bit before getting food at a Korean place in Chapel Hill. I miss Emma so much :(.
