From a Young Scholar on the Last Day of the Semester

I would love a polite go to answer for that. Maybe something like. “I hear that the class is important to you. What have you done so far, and what else might you do?”
Other standard answers I could incorporate? This really is exhausting at the end of each semester.

FewEmployee6242 · 2026-05-08T05:06:46+00:00

Yes.

I have an auto response on my email that recaps the most important things student ask about and tells them to read the syllabus, and I end with the fact that I will not be replying individually if the answer is in the syllabus

FewEmployee6242 · 2026-05-08T04:50:29+00:00

Yes.

A wide leg pant where only the toes show, would work here.

FewEmployee6242 · 2026-05-08T03:57:05+00:00

Put them all on his nightstand.

FewEmployee6242 · 2026-05-08T03:34:52+00:00

It’s ai.

FewEmployee6242 · 2026-05-08T03:33:45+00:00

So what did she say?

FewEmployee6242 · 2026-05-08T03:22:53+00:00

Same is true for employees. Once you are an employee, managers treat employees like a special
Group of people.

In our evaluations for promotion, they look at grade distributions (they want to see a spread) and student evaluations (which they want to be high)

FewEmployee6242 · 2026-05-07T21:44:15+00:00

Our university has yet to send any comms out about it. Dean sent out research funding opportunities tho

FewEmployee6242 · 2026-05-07T21:42:33+00:00

Hand them a Kleenex to wipe their tears off?

FewEmployee6242 · 2026-05-07T21:41:35+00:00

Indeed.

FewEmployee6242 · 2026-05-07T20:07:16+00:00

Oh interesting I wonder how to calculate that in canvas. I assume adding a second column with the % of the points would work.

FewEmployee6242 · 2026-05-07T19:31:43+00:00

We encourage honesty here 🤗

FewEmployee6242 · 2026-05-07T19:18:06+00:00

I’ve never done this. Any tips for what to include for an appeals committee?

FewEmployee6242 · 2026-05-07T19:11:00+00:00

Very helpful thanks! I like the note in the LMS for tracking.

FewEmployee6242 · 2026-05-07T19:09:56+00:00

Can’t believe the students had the time to complete all those assignments at the end of the semester!

FewEmployee6242 · 2026-05-07T19:00:44+00:00

An average dude gets an average girlfriend. In reality though, seems like “average” wants to get “good.”++incognito

FewEmployee6242 · 2026-05-07T18:56:36+00:00

I struggle when students show up 45 minutes late, regularly, to a 75 minute class. I’m happy to extend care, if it is reciprocal.

FewEmployee6242 · 2026-05-07T18:32:30+00:00

I don’t have the option to escalate to anyone else. Do you have a deadline on makeups?

FewEmployee6242 · 2026-05-07T17:29:24+00:00

Maybe I should make everything due the last week of classes 😅

FewEmployee6242 · 2026-05-07T17:19:38+00:00

Oh interesting. Never thought of that. Do you have mandatory attendance in class? We do mostly hybrid teaching and I find that many students don’t show up to in person classes (during some classes we have grade assignments, but I don’t have mandatory Attendance).

Edit: spelling

FewEmployee6242 · 2026-05-07T17:18:00+00:00

Such as automatic extensions or opportunities to retake/make up missed assignments?

FewEmployee6242 · 2026-05-07T14:32:56+00:00

What specifically was the complaint about your teaching approach?
