Can we start talking about the Ivy League Bias? Media and politicians assume all college exp is like their own lived experience? The vast majority of American students are in state schools & community colleges. We Only see those on college game day
should i even bother emailing my professor about him mistakenly putting in a 0 for an assignment when this is literally my final course grade...
My professor needs to count her days for not rounding up my final grade🙄🙄
Gordon Gee wrecked a whole state’s flagship public university and has never been rebuked by Congress or called to testify.
If my chem professor doesn’t round my 89.95% to an A- by giving me half a point I’m dropping out
It’s my favorite time of the year when students who didn’t do the super easy assigned work want to know if there’s extra credit they can do. Particularly fun is those I haven’t seen for weeks and want to pull that 48 to a B or so.
Robert Kraft, the billionaire who offered to pay to destroy video evidence of himself allegedly paying for massage parlor sex, believes we need "accountability" for tenured faculty.

Sunday grading is that unneeded reminder that we are not as good at our job as we wrote in our annual evaluation
New University marketing campaign: We are not aiming snipers at your kids as they walk across the quad (That they can see)
It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

Look, I obviously know the circumstances are different, but there is a ton of overlap between what is going on now and the various iterations of the so-called campus free speech wars that we’ve seen for years. We know how this will unfold. Here’s a sneak preview.
Did your University do a “Giving Day” event this year? The philanthropy people refuse to credit me for my gift! I’m 20% below market salary in my field, I’m giving every single day. They won’t let me hashtag #dayofgiving or #yearofgiving or #eatingramemformyschool
The sign the end of the term is near? Walking thru the student area & seeing students cut and paste from ChatGPT instead of watching them watch Netflix shows
Your teaching evaluations aren’t great, you aren’t publishing much, and you have no external funding, have you considered going into administration?
University admins who continuously complain that faculty resist change use tired and weak justifications for their half-baked business plans to dilute the true work of a uni education. Getting sick of business "leaders" who think they know better than everyone else. #HigherEd
Favorite overheard office hour of the month from nearby as a prof & student go over a problem Prof: “What kind of math is that?” Said with a tone reserved for moments of deep concern & disgust. Student: “IDK, is that not how you math it”? Prof: “no, never math like that again”
Twitter “X” question. Why is the University of Florida spending so much $ with Elon to fill our feeds with ads?
Last semester was the first time I had students email me to skip the exam because they were feeling too stressed/overwhelmed by their coursework and didn’t feel like taking it. I have evals say that I don’t remind them enough about assignments that are on the online calendar.

Student evaluations are a great way to learn that you're the best teacher they ever had despite being the worst teacher in existence, and that you under, over, and appropriately prepare for each class.

@NC_Renic @ReadTheSyllabus HAHAHA! Two students, sitting side by side in the same class. One write that I was the best, one that I was the worst teacher they'd had on campus. I kept both for years to prove student evals are ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS.
Remember details matter! If you can’t get the smal things right, can we trust to get the big thins right?
This ain't Texas, this is Sesame Street! 🐴🤠😂❤️
@ReadTheSyllabus @ass_deans Best @ass_deans can do is one limited term lecturer and another adjunct. The rest of the savings will be repurposed for strategic goals in the college, and a cost of living adjustment for the admin in the Dean’s suite.
@AmyTrask @ReadTheSyllabus Many of my college classes used overheads when I was a student. As a professor in the early to late 1990s I had to resort to overheads & 35mm slide carousels. The internet had to grow & PowerPoint coming about before I could use those to make presentations.
EVERYONE still calls it Twitter. (we tweet, not X-crete)
Do you still call it Twitter?
When we started the meeting we said we wanted an open dialogue, you weren’t supposed to take that seriously except by openly supporting our proposal.
@peevedccprof "I'm sorry I'm late, I was stuck in an elevator that wasn't working and as you know I'm in a wheelchair...." Dude: *Locks door* "Learn punctuality."
@StaKLoPR @ReadTheSyllabus I used to worry about it. But I’ve found that the students who come late, or not at all, also don’t do discussions, often don’t write the papers. I can’t penalize them more than they penalize themselves.
@StaKLoPR @ReadTheSyllabus I'd rather students come to half of class than none of class. I just ask that if they are running late, that they enter quietly and sit near the back. I provide important reminders and answers to practice questions at the start of class to motivate students to come on time.
I did it. Last week I raised my concern with him and gave two specific examples. He took ownership and committed to acknowledging his mess-up in our next committee meeting. And then this week he actually fessed up to the group.
I need some advice, hive mind. I'm gonna confront my VP on their flip-flopping that's negatively impacting my trustworthiness. One-on-one, they approval my plans. Then in other meetings, they act shocked about that same plan and point their finger at me. How do I confront them?

@AmandaAnnKlein @ReadTheSyllabus There is so much they do that I don't understand...smh
100% attendance last week
Many of us don’t have empty classrooms. Maybe it’s not always the students
I might be misusing the content warning, I'm not sure.
@ReadTheSyllabus My students come to class and, if they can't come, with the rare exception, they e-mail me to let me know.
