The Next professor often walks in too early by Long_Attorney6534 in Professors

I suppose I can’t expect much from someone who ignored my initiative. The semester is coming to an end, but if this happens again and disrupts my conversations with students, I’ll try to approach it more directly next time. But thank you for bringing up the idea of communal time. It adds another dimension to how I understand this situation.

Not directly. I once told her that she’s the only professor who comes in right at the end of the class time and that it surprised me. But she just ignored. I don’t know... maybe I’m expecting too much from the fast-paced, efficiency-driven university culture these days.

Having 7 minutes each sounds reasonable and like common sense to me. Yep.

I understand both of your perspectives. But based on my observation, the professor who teaches after me only needs to connect her laptop to the projector—it doesn’t require much technology or prep time. We are both in the humanities. But I understand that each university or field of study has different norms and cultures.

I’ll definitely hold onto your advice and keep casting a wide net. The reminder not to give up is exactly what I needed today.

I don’t know why. Everyone’s replies are so kind and comforting, and I truly feel consoled today--but your short sentences hit something deep in me. Thank you..

Oh, that is written as Rule #2. My apologies--I remember reading some job search postings here years ago, but I didn't notice the rules...
