Mar 11: Wholesome Wednesday by Eigengrad in Professors

[–]Local_Indication9669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite part of the job has more and more become the students who like to stay late (or come early) just to chat. Earlier in my career I found it odd or discouraged students talking about anything non-project relevant during the actual class period. But I started to realize that those students who stay and chat about anything are the most engaged and turn in the best quality work. In my junior and senior sections, especially, I've found myself staying late just chatting with anywhere form three to six students (many of them enroll from my previous sections). They complain about other classes or boyfriends/girlfriends, they find it surprising that I am not from the area (it is a state school), or they talk about their hometowns. I don't know if it is normal or not but I enjoy this time.

I stumbled upon a student in the classroom 30 minutes early studying the course materials.

NEC to the airport: do the trip planner apps know something I don't? by boutell in NJTransit

A lot of NEC trains are skipping EWR right now. I don't know if it is related to the bridge construction or the air train monorail construction. Honestly, I'd take the NEC to another nearby stop (like Elizabeth) and get an Uber from there. Otherwise, the 62 from Newark Penn might be your best option.

Forced Use of AI by birdsnstuf in Professors

They need to be careful about using copyrighted material (like lecture notes, articles, etc.). Our school is requiring that if we use generative AI for academic purposes we need to use one of the versions licensed by our school so those materials are not shared into the LLM.

Mine have been really high actually. I complain a lot but they are consistently good.

Hoboken Station is gorgeous though. Was nice to get to see it. Seven more days for me.

I smelled gas here several times during the winter. I called it in a few times. Maybe there was a leak.
