Dear Student ~ I know you are disappointed with your grade. Mansplaining to me why I graded it incorrectly doesn’t help your cause. #highereducation #profproblems
Email from a student, direct quote including salutation: Hey! How about rounding up my grade? I want an A.
To the next person who tries to book a meeting with me. Less meeting. More doing.
Feeling a little down? Cite yourself.
Some call it interdisciplinary research. I call it academic infidelity.
Yes please ☕️ extra hot! #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter
Do I understand correctly your department wants to hire the white guy who was “charming” in the interview but who has less experience and a weaker CV than the other candidates? Doesn’t your department study how race and gender bias decision-making?
I have to admit, I’m sort of jealous of all of you who took classes with all these famous professors who subsequently disgraced themselves in the national spotlight. My professors only disgraced themselves in class.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make a student read the very detailed instructions for the assignment nor follow even one of those instructions. *reposted w/ stupid typo corrected.
Dear Students, Do not email your prof on Christmas. In fact, consider that whole week a don't-email-your-prof-week. Let them have a damn break. Even if they or you don't celebrate Christmas - take the week to STOP and RELAX. Questions can wait.
Email from student at 10:00am: “Hey Prof, why haven’t you responded to the email I sent at 2am yet?” Me: #AcademicTwitter
Prof Dilemma: What if I don’t do any work this weekend? What if I refuse to grade, lesson plan, or reply to email? What if I insist on giving myself two full days off? Oh, that’s right... next week will be hell. Decisions, decisions...
At 8 a.m.: Alright, busy day. I'll start right after breakfast After: it's so nice, I have to go for a walk before I settle in to work. Lunch: after I buy groceries Dinner: I do some of my best work after 7. I'll start then. 7 p.m.: why not tomorrow?
My primary goals for this semester: 1. Survive 2. Learn how to truly rest when I’m not working So far, I’m making progress on both
If you think the faculty are socialists, ask the full professors, especially the endowed profs, about redistributing their salaries to adjuncts, instructors, staff, or grad students!
The number of graduate students who can't/don't follow the most basic of instructions is simply astounding.
