I really wish #Zotero, and several other programs will just let me type in #markdown, and not automatically format the text. I do not want the particular changes in font and color with auto-formating that these programs provide, and I am really happy with plaintext and unadorned markdown. To make matters worse, when I copy these formatted text elsewhere, the original markdown is completely stripped.

Why does this have to be so user-hostile?  The default paste when copying formatted text should be to match the destination formatting. Not the source formatting, and paste is one of the most important functionalities in modern word processing. I wish they would provide at least some option to change these short cuts #microsoft #msword #macos #userhostile

How bad is it if I turn down an ARC assessment assignment? I do not have sufficient expertise in the area they have assigned a project for me to review (I have expertise in the very broad area, but that is because the area is really broad).

Our university requires me to guarantee that no questions from previous 3 years have been reused in the final examination question paper.

Unfortunately, I also have to compose at least 4 question papers for the final examination (a main and replacement exam) x (in-person and remote). I have already exhausted all questions I can pose to students, and am wondering what to ask next year. #newfaculty #newfacultyproblems
