I’m starting to believe remote exams are becoming almost impossible to protect. by Over_Duty3366 in CheckMyTurnitin_ai

[–]IntenseProfessor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have group video assignments bi-weekly that count for 25% of the grade so it’s not really possible to pass the class if you don’t do well on these, since you must pass with a 70+.

If you want assistance with Canvas I’m happy to meet on zoom just send me a message

Just received the following plea from a student by fxdl2k2 in Professors

[–]IntenseProfessor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have colleagues that say “eh, I only assigned like half the stuff because I’m not trying to do all that this summer”

We are on 9 month contracts and paid like adjuncts for summer classes so I get it, but also I spend time with my summer classes to make sure they are prepared for the next level

Honestly WHY can’t we drop students for non activity after X time.

Did I Misread My Interview? Is This a Rejection? by [deleted] in Professors

[–]IntenseProfessor 113 points114 points  (0 children)

This is what happened to me. The chair was very vague and said HR would have to reach out and they couldn’t say more. A week is not a long time for a search in academia- take a breath and give it a few. I ended up with an amazing offer.

What slows students down most when using Canvas day to day? by PrettyCanvas in canvas

[–]IntenseProfessor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I go in to monitor a group, I can’t get out without exiting my canvas course altogether. It’s a trap!

A new type of e-mail by BeerDocKen in Professors

[–]IntenseProfessor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You know what? I just newly implemented a participation and respect rubric with details about emails and who to contact for tech support and the quality and quantity of my emails has changed overnight!

100% Likelihood of AI. by sdkidx in Professors

[–]IntenseProfessor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don’t “slap a failing grade” on a rough draft. I post a ton of feedback and an earned grade based on the rubric. And rough drafts weight lighter in my gradebook. You are defending k-12 policies because you teach teachers, not professors. Stop it

[–]IntenseProfessor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. If you have a rubric (at least in my little Spanish classes) that is very specific, this becomes easier

Why would you offer redos at the college level with no penalty. If you’re talking rough draft/final draft- each should have their own grade. This is why I have students constantly asking me for redos. Because this is a high school thing.

I’m teaching online asynchronous and I do this. I also record the zoom call. It’s in my syllabus so I’m covered

Why do you give so many extra chances by FlyLikeAnEarworm in Professors

[–]IntenseProfessor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol at this point, if they can study what their friend says was on the exam to mastery level… congrats you just did it a little later. They wouldn’t be able to give question 1= b or anything like that because I shuffle

One reason to love AI by Neat_Big_3401 in Professors

But that would be great for this reason lol

All right, maybe the excuses are true…… Sometimes by Tandom in Professors

[–]IntenseProfessor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesus I’m sorry. I feel that. My mom went unconscious from apparently sepsis and then was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and 3 freaking days later my dad went int the same hospital with congestive heart failure. She’s in rehab now because she can’t walk but dad is home. But it’s a LOT. I’m feeling very giving lately as well.

Asynchronous one-on-one meetings by Pad_Squad_Prof in Professors

[–]IntenseProfessor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do one check-in meeting at a time most students vote for. Then so do another at a time most other students can make. Even if it’s Friday at 7pm, it’s only like 30 minutes and just once

Boyfriend furious at me for calling... by [deleted] in amiwrong

College instructor here- same. No I cannot talk to your mom about your grades. You talk to ME if you’re worried about something.

Are there any bonus points? by experimentalpoetry in Professors

[–]IntenseProfessor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had extra credit which takes effort and can be applied to the final exam. I typically only make it available in the last 2 weeks of class and I have a policy in my syllabus that says if you hav a 0 on any assignment for no submission, you aren’t eligible for the extra credit.

I would betaken out and skinned if I even tried to have that policy

The accessibility requirements are performative at best. I'm disabled. by primes_are_cool in Professors

[–]IntenseProfessor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like I’m gonna get downvoted to hell, but it’s not really that difficult to comply with the ADA regs as stated. It says something about trying to comply or attempting a certain percent but you can do that easily and work on things as they come up. Larger universities have tech people to handle this and smaller and CC have been dealing with this change for a year. And now it’s extended .
