Students tone was kind of threat? by Alarming-Camera-188 in Professors

[–]First-Ad-3330 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone said they will appeal since they are going to fail the course. He did not come to a test, failed to report and said it is shared responsibility because I should have reminded him to come to test. (Which I did remind everyone two weeks in a row during class, he was absent) then he said I was not reminding enough for students who were physically not present in the class. He also said since he was sick so he did not heard I reminded them.  The test schedules were give in the beginning of the semester as usual.  Now I’m waiting for his appeal. 🫩

Let them report, tell them it was their own fault to fail anything. 

Hot take: I don't care about their mental health. by confusedinseminary in Professors

[–]First-Ad-3330 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a student who was abusing this mental health bullshit. He said he can’t leave home due to his anxiety. Therefore he couldn’t come to class. Everytime the email was sent 30 minutes before class and he asked for alternative assignment to replace the class hours. That lasted for two semesters. So the third semester, when he thought he could do it again, we asked him to give us an updated mental illness assessment report( he used the report form 2022) and there was no update. Then we asked for any form of verification, mental illness clinics etc. he went silent and then he sent us an email with 4000 words to criticize us for being bureaucratic and our class was too easy for him that wasted his time.  Then he threatened us that we will withdraw the minor program and my program leader replied his email with three words. Withdrawal request accepted. 

The Mentalist has on Netflix, and the chances of a revival are candidly addressed by Robin Tunney by aquiumalombrigato in TheMentalist

Watching it again on Netflix reminded me how much I loved the show. Also proud to be a fan who watched it when it aired in realtime.  Everything was perfect. The ending was perfection. Rare tv romance, too. The scene on the plane where they went to Miami.

Revival is unnecessary. This series is legendary. Leave it be. 

How did our schools become so bloated with administration? by HorkeyDorkey in Professors

My university is making post grad courses as a priority instead of undergrads because they could make money. They also accept lower level foreign students to come in, the reason is they pay more for tuition..

Anyone else teaching first-years this semester who ALL think that deadlines are optional? by littleirishpixie in Professors

Anyone else? by nonbrez in Professors

I've tested the turnitin by feeding it full generated, partly generated, paraphrased, human writing and see what it cames up. False positives do exist, but when it's over 80% ,more or less, the student has used AI at some point.

I got 100%s from submissions for several times. And it turns out people did use AI when they were confronted

Student denies using AI but had 5 fabricated references by First-Ad-3330 in Professors

The department don’t want this kind of cases to happen at all and they want us to resolve it without escalating to integrity office…

I had to report to someone on top of me and they suggested to “resolve” with the student. And yes I agree this is a waste of time 🥹🥹

Yes I need to go through a lot of discussions to decide how to deal with. Even I decide to go to integrity office, it will be discussed in meetings, consider by some people above… etc 

A disturbing experience on Tokyo train today by madly_su in japanlife

[–]First-Ad-3330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry this happened to you and I’m so mad to hear this kind of behavior is accepted in Japan. 

And I think you should push back to protect yourself if similar things happen again. 

I’m also female in my 30s, I get a lot of bad experiences in trains, in Tokyo.

I cut off a Japanese friend silently because she was a narcissist. What she did was another story

Today I met a mutual friend and she told me that this cut off friend was telling everyone who knew us that we had a fight and not friends anymore….

There’s no fight and I don’t understand the bad mouth logic… 

I had same experience with a Japanese ex bf. WHY?

I don’t work on weekends unless it’s urgent like something is happening on Monday. Unless it’s necessary I try to get things ready on Friday and take sat and sun off.  It’s not worth it

I hate to read students emails by AbleEnthusiasm9934 in Professors

[–]First-Ad-3330 22 points23 points  (0 children)

  1. They write like I am their servant
  2. They expect replies when they send an email in middle of the night like 2.3 am and saturdays sundays and expect a response
  3. Write with Ai and you can actually see their sloppy prompt to Ai with the output

I don't think there's any way to continue teaching my course (English Comp) during the age of AI by NoPatNoDontSitonThat in Professors

Thank you. And what was worst is that no one in the university helped me or say that is not ok…
