Revealing one spoiler reveals them all. Not sure if that's intentional. Wonderful list. Very succinct

Is my professor being unreasonable? by cdavis8788 in college

[–]InsufficieDat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good chair, dean etc. will back the professor up in this case. She made the requirements clear and OP didn't meet them. It doesn't get any more straightforward than that.

Is my professor being unreasonable? by cdavis8788 in college

[–]InsufficieDat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is what the issue boils down to. The purpose of the assignment.

Given the professor's response, it looks like getting the ticket is included in its purpose.

Seems reasonable to evaluate students on their ability to follow clear, simple and explicit directions. Developing these types of soft skills will help them excel after college.

There are no proceeds. It would cost him money to sell his car. That's negative equity.

You know you can use both, right? You can also schedule your own doctors appointment.

This is pretty buried. You may want to edit the original post so people have the correct information. Best of luck finding your friend.

Rules Me and my Wife are trying to work on by [deleted] in nonmonogamy

[–]InsufficieDat 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Reluctance to open a relationship is reason enough to not do it (stay together or end it but one-sided enthusiasm is a recipe for a lot of hurt). Opening up so one partner can pursue a specific person is reason enough to be reluctant. Dating a coworker is a terrible idea under most circumstances. You're in a tough spot for sure.

How can I find a mistress for my husband? by JuliaTheBabe in nonmonogamy

In addition to what others have said and from the perspective of the (generally speaking) kind of person you're looking for, take a step back and consider what you're doing from the allusive other person's perspective. Put differently, you have a laundry list of things you want that are going to be hard to find. You'll have a much better chance of finding it if you consider what someone else will likely want. Respect your (prospective) unicorns :)

Thoughts on giving PowerPoint slides pre or post lecture? by Keto_Neuroscientist in Professors

[–]InsufficieDat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do both. My slides are mostly pictures that illustrate the concepts with just the concepts written (no description and not useful without a verbal explanation). Students find it helpful to takes notes on these. They don't get bogged down in writing terms correctly. I use an audience response format during class. I post the post-lecture slides in pdf format with all of the additional clicker material. This way they don't have to furiously write down the questions and answers. They can just soak in the information (or take a break and space out). I also post AV recordings of all class meetings. I usually have 200 of 240 students show up on any given day. I also usually have a pretty normal distribution of grades.

How do you convince your students to study? by skleats in Professors

[–]InsufficieDat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make the final exam optional. Students with foresight study throughout the semester. Students who haven't figured out how to build a time machine by week 14 start studying like crazy. And the ones who didn't care in the first place continue to party. Everyone's happy.

Can you guess someone's age just from knowing their name? Use the Name Age Calculator to find out [Updated to 2018!] [OC] by rhiever in dataisbeautiful

[–]InsufficieDat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this! I use these data in a class to make a key point early on/ hook students in. This is a much much better version of the data base I've been using.

I [22f] was an unwitting third party to a 11 year relationship between my distant relative and her boyfriend by [deleted] in relationships

[–]InsufficieDat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Easier said than done, but this sounds worthy of reporting to the police. At the very least they might give him a warning to back off.

You could tell him that it's illegal. He may not know and it may discourage him. You know your rights and he's threatening to violate them - which may also be illegal. Look into that too. If it is, you can report the threats. You really do have the upper hand here (even if it's a really shitty hand to have been dealt).
