@csgordon@discuss.systems @jeremysiek@types.pl @krismicinski@types.pl Yeah, I tried to do this in my PL course with ~150 students, and it was a massive logistical headache and left me and all the course staff exhausted. I would love to do it, but it's not feasible with the enrollments we have.

@lindsey@recurse.social @jeremysiek@types.pl @krismicinski@types.pl yeah... our first-year courses (~400 students) are trying a lightweight version of this with 10 minute chats, with random samples of students each week. so I think each student meets twice a term. It seems to be going well, but it's still a stretch even with an additional faculty member volunteering to help with these(!). The deeper material in later courses definitely needs more than 10 minutes.
