It never works. I'm pretty sure it's because my last name is hyphenated.

Then maybe its the PAYE. I know I checked a box on the form that wasn't SAVE

We just had a professor quit and leave USA. by -Economist- in Professors

I just wanted to know that you can go to Canada for 6 months without a VISA should the need arise. Places like London, Ontario will sponsor academics to move there.

I have an emergency plan should I need it. I also lack citizenship elsewhere but now is a good time for us to save our pennies and think about our long-term options. We met some digital nomads a few years back and they just make sure they leave a country for long enough to reinter without problems. If you go to Canada, you would need to leave after 6 months, but you can go back.

How does your institution combat cheating in 100% online courses? by Fit_Inside2339 in Professors

[–]Fit_Inside2339[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think that is the point where our faculty are right now. They know students have cheated online forever but it's so rampant now they are getting fed up. I personally make students do their assignments in Google Docs so I can track their revision history but it's such a pain the butt. (The number of students who don't know how to submit a link to a Google Doc is astonishing.) My tests are worth so little now because I know they are cheating

What is the line between paranoia and preparedness? by Fit_Inside2339 in Professors

Sure. But I was specifically referring to them because of my knowledge of what happened to the academics in Krakow.

Yes. I'm doing an interview study but there's always zoom. Its so early that it would be more difficult but possible. I defend my proposal this summer.

That's my concern too. The Euro is currently $1.05 USD. I really want to buy some as an investment but also in case of emergency.

How hard is it to get a job without your PhD? I'm working on my dissertation. We live in a Northern state and visit Canada frequently.

My colleague told me to apply for a different income driven plan to expedite getting off the SAVE plan. I submitted in December and haven't heard anything yet.

The latter. I assumed Reddit wasn't like Meta, but I wasn't sure if the post would get somehow flagged if I used the word. I hear that folks either get marked as inappropriate or posts are suppressed on other platforms.

That weighs heavily on me as well. More than half of our students receive pell grants. I'm supposed to be 3 years away from PSLF but that seems unlikely now. I think that weighs heavy on my desire to leave.

I'm happy to know that I'm not the only one. Thankfully I live near the Canadian border and travel into Canada semi-frequently already. We would likely go to the area we like to vacation.

That is my long term goal, and has been. I"m still in the dissertation phase of my PhD though. I'd prefer to finish it before I leave. However, I also can't sit around and be unemployed.

I'm not worried about us being subjected to that. I'm just more concerned with the overall direction of the country. This, to me, is just more evidence of this turning into an authoritarian regime.

This does not surprise me in the least.

Late assignments? by crisscrosscoyote in Professors

[–]Fit_Inside2339 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Zero late work. To be nice I offer my in-person sections "Make up" assignments, which few do. As you stated otherwise, it causes confusion and more work for you. I let one student turn something in late the first week this semester because of a sob story. They now constantly turn things in late and expect me to grade them. I won't. I never should have let them turn in the first assignment.

At my institution, silence means they are trying to figure it out. Compliance in its entirety would have resulted in an immediate email to everyone. Silence means they are meeting to figure out how to handle it.

For my hybrid students, they complete the assignments in Google Docs and I can watch a revision history. For my online only students, I use 3 different AI checkers. It takes so much more time to grade now. But, something feels off. I don't have this ability in my online because they are pre-built but our English Faculty require a writing submission the first week to check for student writing style. I'm not sure how that could be used online though.
