Polls...

29 March 2017: "The response rate today? 8%." --Dr. Slocum-Schaffer, discussing the response rate for political polls today versus the 1970s, when the number was 80%, at today's Teach-In on fake news and polling, sponsored by the Political Science department. Just in case you *never* wanted to trust a poll again...

And a runner-up entry for today's "listening" post: "I feel like I should write 'I don't know what I am talking about' in the header to my Deconstruction paper." --a student in my ENGL 301 class. So I had to intervene on that one. Ha.
