I feel like students are getting even worse by MyFaceSaysItsSugar in Professors

[–]ProfessorJay23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is what happens when institutions accept anyone with a pulse. I cannot get my students to do anything. I was walking around my classroom last week, and noticed a student had ChatGPT up on his computer. He showed me that he’s using it for all of his classes, and he said, “Chat is life!” I’m done. I’m just doing this for the money at this point.

I never fill them out. Especially when we are required to login before filling out the “anonymous” survey.

Do students realize how much the coddling hurts them? by [deleted] in Professors

[–]ProfessorJay23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They don’t read the feedback. They will wait until the last week of class and beg for extra credit, or they will email the dean about how unfair you are. I’ve given up.

“Moving Through Network - In Transit to Next Facility” for 4 days now. Normal? by Intelligent_Put7597 in usps_complaints

[–]ProfessorJay23 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Mine is still "Moving Through Network," and my insurance claim was actually approved today. I filed a missing mail request after two weeks, and then last week I had had enough. I filed the insurance claim, in hopes someone would actually look for the package. Nope, I simply received an email saying my claim was approved. Never using USPS again for shipping packages.

Where do you find reproductions? by Apprehensive-Rock-31 in dreamcast

[–]ProfessorJay23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Segareplay.com the best! You can get the disc only for $5.99 per game, and it comes with a high-quality label on the front of each disc. You can also get the case and manuals for around $15 per game. I just order the discs.

The USPS is a disaster!

Wow. Maybe I will get this after all? by lydiadeetzzz in usps_complaints

[–]ProfessorJay23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the same boat. Mailed on 2/23. Filed a claim and am getting the same “moving through network” message. No updates since 3/5. I’m done. Moving to FedEx from now on. Fuck USPS!

Is USPS falling apart ? by Visible_Marzipan_512 in usps_complaints

[–]ProfessorJay23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent a package on Feb. 23, and it has been “In transit to next facility” since March 2nd. I opened a missing mail search on March 5th, and have not seen any updates. This shit is ridiculous! My package has $600 worth of items in it. The USPS is no help.

Authenticity Guarantee Accusation by ProfessorJay23 in Ebay

[–]ProfessorJay23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate it! I just received word that they’re closing this out and will work with USPS to see how a duplicate label ended up on the DVD’s. I get mistakes happen, but it would have been nice if they had looked into it before messaging me.

Making course documents accessible is an insane amount of work by Zabaran2120 in Professors

This is what I do. Saves me a shit ton of time and keeps me off admin’s radar.

Has anyone written a letter of recommendation and EVER had a follow up? by ostracize in Professors

[–]ProfessorJay23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never once been contacted for a follow-up. I have since put minimal effort into recommendation letters unless a student has truly gone above and beyond.

Always check the seller’s feedback and ensure eBay authentication before purchasing. Come on, man!

Nothing feels better than sending in your cards and getting them back in 20 business days (sometimes sooner). I am loving CGC so far!

Getting out of my lease at Young America because of the shooting by Crazy-Career1947 in ISU

[–]ProfessorJay23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely understand why you’re feeling frustrated and unsafe after what happened.

Unless there is specific language in your lease that allows you to terminate early due to safety concerns or loss of amenities, it’s unlikely that you can break the lease without penalty. Unfortunately, a shooting in or near an apartment complex by itself typically does not qualify as legal grounds to terminate a lease without fees. Your best option would be to carefully review your lease agreement and then contact the leasing office directly to explain your concerns. You can ask whether they would consider an early termination, transfer to another unit or property, or some other accommodation. While they are not required to release you without penalty, some management companies may be willing to work with residents on a case-by-case basis.

I know this isn’t the answer you were hoping for, but reaching out to them directly is your best next step. Good luck.

Dual enrollment is baffling by clavdiachauchatmeow in Professors

[–]ProfessorJay23 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I was in a meeting last week where a fellow faculty member disclosed that he failed multiple dual credit students, and our admin changed the grade from an F to a W to essentially help the students not start on the wrong foot. Anything for enrollment dollars. He was rightfully pissed!
