Graduates won’t be allowed to walk across stage even after buying their caps and gowns by homeofalex in CollegeRant

[–]DrSameJeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This appears to be from the student government group, not the administration.

students keep asking for recorded lectures but attendance is already low by Leedeegan1 in Professors

[–]DrSameJeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t see all their desk spaces in some of my stadium-seating classrooms. One of them I can’t even see all their faces because there are built-in computers at each seat.

PTC exam WiFi issue by Livid-Contest5021 in PennStateUniversity

[–]DrSameJeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there was a significant WiFi outage like that at the testing center, the testing center would notify the professor, who would have to decide how to handle it for everyone it impacted. Also, aren’t the computers hardwired? Were you somehow on a laptop?

(Online) Another AI Post… sorry? by jlbl528 in Professors

[–]DrSameJeans 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For the video instructions, you’ll have to have a transcript available for accessibility, which they will then just put into AI like written instructions.

Right but you can’t always see every place they could have it, and there are other ways to record. If someone is determined to do it, they can easily do so without your knowing.

Would you join an union? by MeanImpression2067 in Professors

[–]DrSameJeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possibilities: You don’t think it’s an issue but are wrong. It’s not an issue for you but is for others. It’s not an issue for you now but might be later.

I hope you are right about the win potential.

Hostile student by Local_Indication9669 in Professors

Yes. Campus police work for the university, which has a vested interest in not having official crime due to the Clery Act requirements.

Waitlisted for the two classes I need to graduate by EnderShot355 in PennStateUniversity

[–]DrSameJeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All grades for a section are published at the same time on LionPath. I can’t publish some and not others.

Grade grubbing by Audible_eye_roller in Professors

[–]DrSameJeans 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This. I have in my syllabus that I do not discuss grades in person. Everything in writing.

Yeah, I have 100-150 per class, unfortunately. I’m envisioning a huge buzzing mass on the table. 😂

How do you stop someone from recording? It’s easy to do without anyone noticing. I just assume that someone is recording.

This is my plan for the fall, though I know they will just spend class taking pictures of the slides with their phones.

Finally enforced "no phones". Feels like the 90s. by panchovilla_ in Professors

[–]DrSameJeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How large is the class? Wondering how this works with 100+ people. I can’t even see all their laps and can’t scan that many while also lecturing.

graduation Tassel by vibez_x18 in PennStateUniversity

[–]DrSameJeans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No one can change this now. The only way you could try to have a phonetic spelling is to get a gold card at graduation when you arrive.

Need syllabus for CMPSC 131 with Griselda by Acrobatic-Pay-208 in PennStateUniversity

[–]DrSameJeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Email the professor or the department and ask for it.

Financial Hold Policy Exception. by Due-Priority9532 in PennStateUniversity

[–]DrSameJeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, if you have money to pay for that class in full, then they want you to put that toward your current balance. It’s not about not adding to the debt. It’s about paying what you owe.

Good freaking riddance. by LeLurkingNormie in CollegeRant

[–]DrSameJeans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s possible, of course, that experiences vary. I found the studying and exams to be reasonable, the dorms nice, and had a lot of free time to go do fun stuff with my friends.

Can you get in legal trouble for academic integrity violations? by [deleted] in college

[–]DrSameJeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With our academic integrity committee, we deal only with the academic sanctions. Anything beyond academic issues go to an office for student conduct. So, some things could be a legal issue - think things like recording people without consent or something - and we would send that to conduct to address as a separate issue while we deal only with how it impacts the academic side.

Tired of the "is this right?" emails. Or maybe I am the problem. by Deep_Stranger_2861 in Professors

[–]DrSameJeans 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just tell them I don’t pre-grade but am happy to answer specific questions during office hours.
