A Real Horror Story

By Matt Reed. I don’t have much time for horror movies. I’d rather do a comedy, even a dumb one, than watch some cretin in a hockey mask wield a chain saw. It’s just not fun to watch people suffer. More...

“What Do You Think?”

By Matt Reed. As an instructor, I was never entirely sold on the multiple-choice format for tests. I would sometimes have a small section of it on an exam to test really basic factual knowledge -- how many senators does each state get -- as a sort of reality check, but it wouldn’t count for much.

Gen Ed Reform and the Problem of Other Courses

By Matt Reed. The Onion did a piece a while back on Americans’ attitude toward mass transit. As the piece had it, 98 percent of Americans favor increased use of mass transit by other people; that way, their own commutes wouldn’t be slowed by so much traffic. More...

A Citizenship Factory

By Matt Reed. If you haven’t already seen the CityLab piece on Helsinki’s new central library, check it out. The pictures alone are well worth it, though the article is excellent, too. It’s a reminder of what a culture can do if it decides to make something a priority. More...
