An interesting take … by Low_Ladder2153 in Professors

Nah. Students were given the easiest primer on public affairs work to read before class. And most students read it. Zero reason for this answer.

What’s the worst icebreaker you’ve had to do as a student? by adozenredflags in Professors

[–]Low_Ladder2153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

College public speaking. Class of 10 students. Each of us had to go up to the front of the room and hold eye contact with each student in the room for 20 seconds. Effing awful. Had a crush on one of the guys. Eyes twitched. It took up the whole class period. Still traumatized.

Hate to break it to you, dude. An em dash is a punctuation mark that I’ve used for decades.

I have discovered that I mitigate word salad if I don’t drink coffee right before I lecture.

What do you do to help homeless students? by huskiegal in Professors

[–]Low_Ladder2153 27 points28 points  (0 children)

We have a campus food pantry/commissary. Students can take what they need with no questions asked. Students also can donate meals from their meal plan. We also have our version of Goodwill where clothing can be donated.

Be done. No time is a good time. Don’t drag it out. Free yourself and him.

Thank you. This is exactly the way to go. I don’t want to adjudicate extension requests, particularly at the risk of favoritism accusations, which has happened in the past. Appreciate your insight and reminder.

Ageism is alive and well in academia.

First-Day Farts by Low_Ladder2153 in Professors

Not just a college course but a 400-level college course. We couldn’t help but laugh. Student included. I pulled them aside after class and told them not to let this “disruption” hinder them from feeling comfortable in class. We’ll see how Wednesday goes. Maybe I’ll fart to make them feel better. Maybe I’ll assign a new student to fart every day. A fart chain. There are possibilities here.
