(Sharon Salzberg))   Debrief: Topics, Stats, Reflections 20.5 minutes This segment begins our debriefing process by reflecting on the audience size (which a nearly impossible to measure), and quickly reviewing who we talked to and what we talked about over the last season. It turns out that many important and useful topics came up this season, including two episodes that sort of summarize all I've learned about teaching A&P over my decades-long career. And then there's that one weird episode that I snuck in at the beginning of the year, as the entry of AI into teaching and learning was suddenly on everyone's mind\u2014when I'd intended to be doing last year's debriefing instead . \u2605 Podcast List (searchable list of all episodes of this podcast, including titles, topics, and links to each episode page) theAPprofessor.org\/podlist Please rate & review The A&P Professor\u2014it helps others decide whether to give us a try! \ud83d\ude01 \u2605 RateThisPodcast.com\/theAPprofessor   A Long, Long, Long Episode 1.5 minutes A brief "brain break" to talk about the fact that this episode is particularly long\u2014and why.
