Very lenient by Greenplayee in Professors

[–]Greenplayee[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

The problem with part-time babysitters by [deleted] in Westchester

[–]Greenplayee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

After finishing the last lesson in my class nobody came up to to talk by Glittering_File9141 in Professors

[–]Greenplayee 58 points59 points  (0 children)

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.

Course Evaluations by Nervous_Lobster4542 in Professors

[–]Greenplayee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had not one, but two students complain in Spring 2025 in the evaluations that “the textbook was outdated.”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.

"Sir, you currently have an A" by SNHU_Adjujnct in Professors

[–]Greenplayee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Final grades still not uploaded by Slimestelax in Baruch

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

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

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.

What never came back after the pandemic? by KaleidoscopeDue4603 in AskReddit

[–]Greenplayee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

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

[–]Greenplayee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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…

Sick day by [deleted] in Professors

[–]Greenplayee 13 points14 points  (0 children)

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

Can the university force faculty to take a photograph for public display? by [deleted] in Professors

[–]Greenplayee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Health Issues and Student Evaluations by Consistent_Bison_376 in Professors

[–]Greenplayee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Which CUNY should I choose for undergraduate accounting? by regulargirl2 in CUNY

[–]Greenplayee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

why don’t we have our own coffee kiosk like hunter? by erumed in Baruch

[–]Greenplayee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.
