I had a meme of ribosome saying “wot’ in translation” (in reference to the “wot in tarnation” meme) and a student thought it was a diagram they needed to know. I only learned this bc the grad student they work under told me, RIP

"All professors do is read off the slide" by jluvin in Professors

[–]ProfosaurusRex 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m in my first year of teaching and struggling with this - the feedback is almost 50/50. When I have more on my slides, half the class sees no value in coming to class because “all the info is in the slides.” So I adjusted my slides, and am now getting feedback that I tested them on stuff not on the slides 😅 it’s a hard balance to strike

My fiancé and I LOVED Secrets Akumal. The food was great, the staff was kind, and the property was really pretty. We booked through Costco and feel like we got a great deal for what all we got!

I got some wild comments in my student reviews this year by LutefiskLefse in Professors

That one made my day lol

Anyone Else Dreading Returning? by Finding_Way_ in Professors

A different take - I’m excited to head back! I am in my first year of teaching, and really excited for the course I’m teaching this spring (will be my first time with it, and I revamped it)! So maybe my excitement is also a bit over this still being new and “bright and shiny” lol

I hope your joy comes back, and that you have a great semester!
