I’ve been vaguely interested in the persistence of emotions ever since Marlis’ presentation about eco-emotions since at least mine can fluctuate enormously (which makes it very hard to fill in any surveys that is asking about emotions because I never know whether they want to know how I feel right this second, or on average […]
This practice of posting pictures only on my blog and not on Instagram is becoming really problematic when I am too busy to post every dip or dive the day it happens and, worse, there are several dips and/or dives happening every day! So here are some pictures from a dive in Limhamn to catch […]
Things I didn’t try beforehand and that still worked out well: asking participants to brainstorm what students do who perform well in their courses, what less successful students do, collecting & clustering keywords for both on the whiteboard, and then projecting a picture from our Active Divers freediving training on top to stress the point that […]
