Didnt see a lot of knits on here but the rules didnt specify what qualified as "art". Roughly 230 hours of work on this piece :3
Largely I want to focus on APA since Im working cross departments in the graduate occupational therapy program and the undergraduate psychology program. So things like running headers, simple reference lists formatted correctly with hanging indents. Running page counts. The ability to insert figures easily without altering layout dramatically.
The OT program also uses a few alternative writing formats for publications, assignments, thesis work and public health handouts in various languages and reading levels (some are essentially comics for small children). Largely it is APA again though some publications ask for proprietary formatting in submissions. (Very similar to APA but slight differences in margin size, text alignment.
So I'm not looking for an intensive academic suite by any means so much as a simple workhorse that will be easy to use and wont require there a dedicated 2-3 hour class just walking through the concept of writing out your references (yes I need you to write them out and not ask the AI, how else will you understand if its been done wrong!) followed by how to set them all to a hanging indent. A plus if we can use the same software in both labgroups and the public handouts!
I like libre because of the comments feature too which makes feedback easier and less intrusive. Im embarassed to say I am unfamiliar with styles and will be looking into learning more about them. I've gotten sadly complacent with the familiarity of working in the school reccomended google apps for so long. Never too late to learn though! Thanks for your thoughts
Edit, and the AI is rampent! Some of the instructors even are having it write out assignments then smacking their heads at the students following their example. (Sigh)
I enjoy that the AI isnt forced or even a distracting temptation in libre. Im sure it has a time and a place but not with such little regulation and perhaps NEVER around the sensitive and highly regulated PHI we are handling! It isnt even that I cant trust students so much as Id love to trust that my software isnt intentionally or unintentionally ripping private health information.
It seems to require some knowledge of script writing. I'll add it to the list because I'm sure a lot of folks will use it but I think that image alone would have some of my students going down to the office to switch majors XD
Yup, knit on 24 inch circular cable needles in size 1. Its knit as one piece with each shape cast off from the edge seam of its neighbors. The only sewing is attaching the eyes
I tried crochet but it just wasnt for me. Amigurumi is cute though
