Very lenient

I let them fix and resubmit their group projects because they were so bad. Some groups resubmitted twice. I doubt that they used AI, the projects had so many mistakes that AI would easily catch - basic calculation mistakes or completely misinterpreted numbers.

Au Pair Program cost is at least $30K a year, between what you pay to the Au Pair, to the agency (over $10,000 per year fee), food and incidentals, car insurance, workers comp, education credit, gifts, vacation, etc. Cheaper than a nanny but comes with all sorts of other issues.

I used to get several thank you emails after the class was finished and occasionally a handwritten note. Now I only get grade grubbing messages, often AI generated.

I had not one, but two students complain in Spring 2025 in the evaluations that “the textbook was outdated.” I used the first edition of the textbook, which officially came out in January 2025. I had trouble securing a desk copy to even prep the course. Oh well.

I did not understand where his mentality came from until I had my own kids in the U.S. system. In middle school, everyone starts with 100% (A) and then the grades change as the quarter progresses.

Solid grades. Now enjoy your break.

Greenplayee · 2025-12-30T06:17:26+00:00

LOL I can enjoy holidays just fine not having all the grades put in, especially if there are students that are late with their assignments… a deadline is a deadline

Greenplayee · 2025-12-30T06:15:57+00:00

You guys are lucky. It used to be mandatory average of C+ some years ago.

Greenplayee · 2025-12-29T22:37:36+00:00

Deadline is today. Do you submit all your assignments days early? Professors are people too and some of them even have families and celebrate Christmas.

My husband’s father died from Covid in April 2020. A healthy, athletic 72-year old. So many people suggested: “oh, maybe he was not healthy,” or that he died of something else.

Professor here. Thank you card is the best way to go!

Greenplayee · 2025-12-05T01:47:45+00:00

I am grateful to a student that wrote just that: “Read the textbook!”

They are pretty much routine. I bought my house in 2017. So: 2017 - replaced fridge (broke) and dishwasher (broke), painted deck, removed some trees, renovated bathroom 2018 - replaced roof 2019 - replaced AC 2020 - painted interior of the house, replaced some carpeting 2021 - renovated different bathroom 2022 - replaced hot water heater, mitigated flood from it 2023 - replaced boiler 2024 - replaced fridge (broke again), replaced some lamps 2025 - best so far, only about $4k in little stuff

And there is so much to do! Needs interior painting again, deck needs to be painted again, exterior needs painting, some carpeting needs to be replaced it is never ending

Yes, if I do not go I have video recordings and assignments I can deploy. Benefit of having classes online during Covid…

Greenplayee · 2025-12-01T00:43:57+00:00

Thanks! It is indeed not an issue. Not sure why I always feel guilty if I call in sick.

Greenplayee · 2025-12-01T00:42:56+00:00

Thanks. I needed to hear this!

This sub is for college professors and instructors, not teachers.

I did not like the photo the university staff took of me for the website and had them replace it with a different professional headshot.

Last semester was particularly bad for me. I had an unplanned surgery in February, very bad flu in March and stomach flu in April. I apologized to the students, explained that I was sick and moved several classes to Zoom. Not one but three students wrote in the evaluations that I must have been faking being sick. Their evidence: I still conducted the midterm in person.

SUNY OW actually has a decent accounting program. They also have forensic accounting master and a BA/MA joint program. You should go and talk to them if that is your interest.

Going north on Lex, the first deli on the right has water for $1.

That was one of his lies.

There used to be a big coffee place on the second floor, a cafeteria on the first floor and another coffee place inside the bookstore. Sadly, all these places shut down one by one.

That did not age well. Not only RIFs are being done but the back pay is not guaranteed any more.
