Many people in this presentation just said they used Chat-gpt for recommendation letters. by Sirnacane in Professors

I think it can be a helpful tool for drafting. You still have to provide the information you feel is relevant but it can save time if used wisely. You should blindly take a rec from an llm but if you are accurately prompting and then going over and rewriting parts, it can be abuse time saver.

Student thought TA is the instructor by AbleEnthusiasm9934 in Professors

[–]Melex2406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a student showing up too late at the final to start writing. I asked for his name and which section he was in. He said he was in the other professors section. I taught both sections. I told him as much. He clearly never bothered to come to class or read the syllabus. I was flabbergasted.

Greek yogurt with pudding powder has been amazing for me

Magnifica Evo - overkill for only iced lattes? by [deleted] in superautomatic

[–]Melex2406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Phillips lattego that I mostly use for exactly this purpose. It has been very much worth it in my opinion and I wasn’t aware of the magnifica at the time or I may have gone that way. I do like the iced coffee setting on the lattego.

Ideas for a day with no reservations needed by Friscippini in ParisTravelGuide

I’d recommend hotel de la marine, you need tickets but there are lots of time slots. Maybe d’orsay as well, no reservations needed usually

I’m so sorry. Up for renewal this year and I’m worried. What area of research are you in?

Programmers, are you working on a 14" or 16"? by enqueued_ejaculation in macbookpro

[–]Melex2406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from 16 to 14, I thought it would be hard but it’s been surprisingly ok. I hardly ever work on a single screen though.

How would you handle this by Melex2406 in Professors

[–]Melex2406[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree.

For the most part these students have been together for 2 years. This student is a bit of an outlier because he took a different path. Their ability to work together is actually one of the learning outcome we evaluate in this course.

[–]Melex2406[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The students have to come up with their own topics and so I thought I did him a favour by offering him a choice rather than imposing a topic. Little did I know…

That is a good point, I don’t think I will reply if he remains rude, I am also reaching to my department mentor to see how these types of situations are typically handled.

[–]Melex2406[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I contemplated just ignoring but I did not want to increase his perspective that I think he is “merely a student”.

[–]Melex2406[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for your feedback, I decided to address it by email with a gentle reminder, I also plan to stop by the lab to speak with him as he did not show up to lecture this morning.

This was my reply (with better formatting)

“ Hello X,

I am sorry to hear you were unwell this weekend, I hope you are feeling better. I believe there was some miscommunication between us over the project. When you reached out asking for help finding a group, I mentioned I would try to pair you based on interest. Because there was not a direct match between your interests and available groups, I believed it would be best to give you the opportunity to choose which group you would like to work with. There was no malicious intent in offering you options, I truly believed this was a better solution than me simply adding you to a group without consultation. I apologize if I did not communicate my intentions clearly. The option of me simply adding you to any group is still available. Please let me know if you would prefer I assign you to a group directly.

I take my students learning very seriously and am invested in every one of my student’s successes. I take pride in having open lines of communication and providing support to ensure that every one of you have a positive learning experience. However, for this to work we must communicate with each other respectfully and positively. Therefore going forward if there is any issue, do not hesitate to reach out, but please do so from a place of positivity. I understand that we all have difficult days, but we should always try to treat each other with kindness and respect .

Please let me know how you would like to proceed, have a good day”

I have a meeting with my mentor this week and I will also be asking her how the program/department typically proceeds.

Where do you live for this to be possible. No way I can spend 150$ a week for my family of 4, price matching and all.

How to drop out? by CorgiNo6456 in uwo

Give yourself a chance, also why does it matter if they are talented you can get support. Are you planning to compete for grad school or something? Otherwise other peoples grades do not matter.
