PARTICIPATION TIPS FOR INTROVERTSEvery good instructor knows that a quiet student can be a participating student. In fact, sometimes big talkers become big distractions! That being said, quieter students can be harder to evaluate and need to indicate their participation in other ways.1. If you are not talking, it probably means you are listening, and that is a very important skill! Take time to listen, and when there are times of silence, take that time to reflect. Those moments of reflection might give you insight louder students would miss.2. If your professor allows for social media participation, take advantage! Sometimes the best discussions are sparked by a good tweet!3. Talking up in class can be anxiety-producing. It might be worth challenging yourself every now and then, but for the times that it is not, think about submitting your questions or comments to the professor after class on a sheet of paper.4. Sometimes professors speak to fast or do not allow enough time for processing a question and formulating an answer. If that's the case, let them know. Every good educator is also a constant learner, and they might need to adjust their teaching style.

California State Senate Committee Hearings, June 24thA performative art pieceNo surprisesIt BEGINS with
Jury Appropriations
Delegations, blonde walls
And whispered conversations
A pause
To bear witness to the testimony
As the Department of Finance opposes and supposes bloated pre-emptations
And behind the proceeding?
The Panopticonic

The
Senate
Legis iterum
Bombshells, bonds, and fiscal risk
Idle wells
Support and resist
But the financial position is once again about the money

What should have been a simple bill went uphill fast, going where California goes, but this time it’s right into the gutter as we share the blame for every failure, trainer, wounding.
