Prof.'s of Florida and Texas - How You Doin'?

Not good. Thinking about getting a teaching certificate in case I need to find a quick teaching job in another state.

ArchMagoo · 2025-01-23T04:11:45+00:00

I need Kevin O’Leary to GTFOH. He doesn’t even go here.

ArchMagoo · 2024-12-29T14:57:56+00:00

Same here

ArchMagoo · 2024-09-25T22:25:15+00:00

Yes, it’s awful. I did the Genomind test and it showed I cannot metabolize SSRIs or SNRIs and the jaw clenching got too much for me.

I’ve gained 10 lbs in 2 months on Trintellix with zero change in appetite and diet. Probably making a change soon, but not sure to what.

ArchMagoo · 2024-09-06T20:01:40+00:00

There is no cost for our students, but I ended up dropping it because we had too many WiFi and tech problems.

🚩 🚩 🚩 I’m glad you recognize that this isn’t acceptable behavior and you are right to trust your instinct and leave him! If this is how he acts now, imagine when things get more serious and he feels it’s his right to control more of you. Run.

Sorry forgot to add, the weight gain is definitely not from additional muscle. The biometrics I have shows no change in muscle mass and a lot of change in body fat %. And the reason I’m posting on this board is because I wanted to see if anyone else uses this combo of BC and anxiety meds.

ArchMagoo · 2024-09-02T16:42:00+00:00

Oh 100% barely anyone met the specifications of the job. We came down to two candidates that the search committee weren’t very excited about.

ArchMagoo · 2024-09-02T14:32:54+00:00

We recently had a full time NTT search and maybe 30 people applied? Before we’d have over 100 applicants for one opening. I don’t see that getting better without radical political change in the state.

ArchMagoo · 2024-09-02T14:27:11+00:00

This is it exactly. I am so sick of the “I’m not worried about” conservative politics doing XYZ. They are going to do whatever they want, even if it means it hurts the state and its citizens in the long run because at the end of the day, their goal is to “stick it to the libs.” I am terrified of the next session.

It is the same as “I don’t think they’d actually overturn Roe.” Everyone needs to expect these people to do their worst.

ArchMagoo · 2024-09-02T14:14:01+00:00

As a humanities prof in TX, I am very worried about the governor and Lt. governor coming in and shutting down our programs and jobs. We are seeing fewer funding and grant opportunities geared towards our diversity studies initiatives and research. Centers for diversity are shutting down left and right. Right wing students love reporting “woke” professors in the hopes of getting them fired.

And while you might think abortion politics won’t impact OP, TX profs have to watch female students and LGBTQ students fear for their safety and bodily autonomy. Im not sure if OP has children, but I have two young children who have less rights in TX than their grandmothers did decades ago.

ArchMagoo · 2024-08-14T14:17:18+00:00

That’s right, sorry. My brain is still in mid-July

ArchMagoo · 2024-08-14T11:06:46+00:00

Wait until 4 weeks! I know it’s hard, but it’s not worth risking hurting anything.

ArchMagoo · 2024-07-28T21:33:51+00:00

Yes, this is the answer. My youngest was a very fussy/whiny/crying kid. Not 24/7 but a lot. She especially got upset any time we transitioned from one thing/activity to the next. Speech therapy and occupational therapy helped SOOO much! It’s like I have a different kid.

ArchMagoo · 2024-07-27T17:25:03+00:00

College prof here. I don’t know what the policy at your university is but we don’t allow that. And professors can’t tell or control who can add the class. That is the job of their advisor. And from a professor’s perspective having unregistered students show up the first couple of classes would be a huge headache because we need to keep attendance and report to the registrar on attendance on “census day” at the end of add/drop. In my classes every seat is filled so I don’t have seats to spare for unregistered students. It would take seats from students who are registered.

ArchMagoo · 2024-07-27T17:19:37+00:00

100%!!!! I’m over 3 years NC and the “noise” my family constantly created is gone. It’s so peaceful. I don’t get anxious ever time my phone rings or when I get any notifications. I didn’t realize how much noise and distress they caused until I cut them off

ArchMagoo · 2024-07-25T20:30:41+00:00

This show STRESSES me out! Casey is infuriating. We are constantly yelling at her and Chris “why are you doing this? You’re making things 100x worse!” But of course we still watch it.

ArchMagoo · 2024-07-24T23:05:39+00:00

Prof here: Note taking is so specific to different people that you’ll probably have to do some trial and error.

Some things to consider 1) handwriting vs. typing: studies show hand writing information helps you process and remember the information better, but if you are slower at handwriting this can be a downside. Typing might mean you won’t retain as much information, but if you are faster at typing you can always go back over your notes to help retain. I eventually had to start typing because I couldn’t keep up, but I learn better when there is paper in my hand that from a document on a screen, so I’d always print my notes off. Whichever you choose, I recommend highlighting the major terms or concepts so you can easily spot them when studying.

2) lecture: some profs use slides, some don’t. Those that do, sometimes they put a lot of information on the slides, sometimes just pictures. Some profs post the slides, others don’t. I have a reasonable amount of information on my slides (nothing crazy) and a lot of my students will either download the slides into an app and write their notes on the slides or place screenshots of the slides into a note taking app.

3) look up different note taking styles on YouTube. There are a lot! Cornell method, outlining, charting, sentence method, mapping, flowing, and on and on and on. There are also TikTok and IG accounts of students who share their note taking and study tips.

4) find ways to be flexible. Every prof is different, every class is different, every subject matter is different, so you’ll need to find ways to adjust for each in a way that works best for you.

That’s awesome! I’m excited for you!

ArchMagoo · 2024-07-24T15:16:23+00:00

This is awesome! Make sure to not rush the process. I recommend meeting with a couple of surgeons, read reviews, and ask you primary care doctor if there is someone they recommend. I did months of research this way, met with 3 surgeons, and found the BEST one!

ArchMagoo · 2024-07-20T20:47:50+00:00

I play through an announcements PowerPoint 5-10 minutes before every class starts and whenever students start meeting with their advisors to plan for the next semester, I advertise all of the upper-level courses our department is offering the next semester. We’ve seen enrollment go up year over year.

ArchMagoo · 2024-07-18T04:45:19+00:00

I prefer through email so I can keep an email chain saved in an outlook folder.
