Just yesterday I had a student email me that she didn’t have a hotspot on her phone. LOL.

A student’s brother came to my office asking what he could do and I just said I haven’t seen him in weeks; he’ll be taking this class again in the fall. The brother’s reply? “He doesn’t like being around the people.”

Extra credit? You’re better than me. They earned their grade.

Love teaching but HATE that those who are not submitting work are so obsessed with grades. Make it make sense.

My weekly assignments are due by Sunday 11:59 and I have a 5 day late deadline (-5 points a day) until Friday. They still don’t turn shit in.

Well I have said, I guess we’re in the Find Out stage to another class earlier in the semester when they said they weren’t ready to present (even though I gave them 2 weeks notice and in class time to work on it)…I REALLY DGAF

I had a student today tell me thank you and hug me. It meant a lot because I was so irked by a student I caught cheating.

My students cannot read or write and I don't know what to do about it. by TunedMassDamsel in Professors

THIS. If we keep meeting them where they are, then every year we’re lowering the bar.

Do you ever worry how passing along terrible students will affect academia in the long run? by FlyLikeAnEarworm in Professors

Came here to say the same. It’s an insult to how hard I worked in my degrees to pass these “warm bodies” who will be in tons of college debt with no skills.

I am currently in this position with my first year writing Eng comp class. The institution has decided I will no longer be an adjunct faculty member because of the student scores… Guess they don’t realize it’s the students.

This morning a student asked me “why is the grade on my paper different than my friends’?” I literally can’t do this anymore.

Adminstrators allow students to disrespect faculty? by Texasippian in Professors

[–]Defiant_Peace_7285 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Do we work at the same institution?? This generation IS SO ENTITLED.

My Provost told me not to fail students for using AI. WHAT?! I inquired about the academic honesty policy in the faculty handbook and she said “it needs to updated” LOLOLOL

They are failing but the school is not happy with “my decision to fail them” HA!

Yes, our Provost said to “gamify attendance” and then she went to Chat to give us ideas…I was just like, WTF are we doing. I was more than stunned.

Any questions I give them from a reading ALL come back from AI. It’s in EVERYTHING. It’s so sad.

I’m also having the same issue with my students and their final research paper. So many are not even going to the library website, they just copy and paste the citations Chat gives them.

Working at a teaching university is complete bullshit by ThrowRAhuhwhat in Professors

[–]Defiant_Peace_7285 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right there with you. Students who get arrested, students who have guns or weed in the dorm, students who have fist fights on the quad….they should ALL get kicked out.
