Automatic email reply is up, so now it's video game time!
I just want the "please grade my late work" emails to stop!
Oh yes, dummies.com is definitely a great source for your paper.
Student's research paper introduction really just started with "Hello." #whyprofessorsdrink
Today's grading day miracle: a gift card I'd ordered two months ago that USPS claimed was delivered but was never delivered arrived today!
Student has emailed me the same email multiple times while I've been sleeping. Stop spamming me!
COVID vaccine side effect that I seem to be the only one experiencing: sudden, unquenchable hunger. Happened with my first two shots and now my booster, but no one I know has had the same issue. Like, I'm pretty sure I could eat everything on a fast food menu right now.
The grade grubbing begins! Student wants to turn in a bunch of work that was due in the first few weeks because they're on a grade cusp. But I gave the class a bunch of free points, so...
I may round up— but not if you send me an e-mail asking me to round up. #AcademicTwitter #proflife #whyyourprofessorsdrink #paidtograde
Slept in and woke up to no new student emails. #imustbedreaming
Getting my booster and a bunch of frozen meals for easy eating the next couple days, just in case. Here's to hoping I get lucky again!
Late night dinner is peanut butter and jelly, a glass of milk, and a handful of jerky. How's your finals week going?
Student technically plagiarized their final paper (not intentionally, just didn't include citations for everything). Gave student another chance to fix it. Student was appreciative, "fixed" paper, and sent it back to me. Student did the same thing again.
Just got my new favorite email: "I realize I didn't meeting all the requirements for the assignment, but please don't take off too many points." #finalsweek
Since it's holiday season again, recommend some queer Christmas movies to me that I can watch while procrastinating on grading next week.
If another student e-mails me asking why they got X grade when I've left extensive comments and a rubric on Blackboard for them, I might lose my shit. #whyprofessorsdrink
