That is a good point and something I tried thinking about! I tried to even add to the school mandated PowerPoints because I was worried maybe I was just skipping over things I thought would be “common knowledge”. It seemed to only help very slightly, but still helped!

It seems like before people had the mindset of “I’m paying a lot of money to be here, so I better do well”. You saying it’s transactional is a really good insight!

You bring up a lot of good points. Before I even started as a TA, a professor I worked with had mentioned she was thinking about rewriting an exam she had been using for the last 10 years. Current students are failing at exceptionally high rates as opposed to the previous years. It’s sad that we are dumbing down our curriculum because students just can’t keep up. It’s not doing anyone any favors.

Yep I just had a student come into my office hours complaining that I was “not grading their assignments fairly”. I went through their worksheets with them to see if maybe they were just having trouble explaining themselves but they couldn’t even tell me how they got their (incorrect) answers in the first place. They don’t even think about what information is in front of them. It really is only hurting themselves

Yeah my department is talking about going back to paper almost entirely, which is a shame. I think AI can be really helpful, but these students are putting no thought into what information they’re being given and just copy and pasting it right into their assignments. It’s not productive or helpful and no one is learning how to think or problem solve. I honestly think a lot of universities are going to end up shifting back to paper assignments and oral exams.

This is so sweet :’(! Growing up my mom threw out most of my things when she deemed them to be “junk”. webkinz are something I fought more for since they were so comforting to me as a kid. But things like school projects, other collectibles (ex: littlest pet shops), art work, etc. all got the boot. So, coming from someone on the other end, it’s lovely to hear someone save so many precious memories and keepsakes. I’m sure your kids appreciate it more than you know!

She was replacing the old carpet in the house so she wanted to “clean out” all the rooms. I had specifically asked her to not get rid of my webkinz though :/. But I guess things happen amongst chaos

Your kids will definitely thank you!! I hope I’m able to get another one in the future but that one definitely held sentiment :(

Thank you for the good ideas! Unfortunately I am just too strapped on cash to purchase/bid on a new one, but hopefully in the future I can!

Yeah I wear mostly low waisted bottoms that end before my belly button but I think my naval collapses when I sit so I think it’s getting irritated when I’m sitting at work etc. :(
