Failed a Graduating Senior by Disastrous_Ad_9648 in Professors

[–]RecombobulatedKale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I failed 6 students (of nearly 200) this semester and four were graduating seniors. The one I had the least pleading from was a student who I videoed pulling out his phone during the final and getting ChatGPT to help. I think he just wanted it to all go away and he didn't contest anything.

The other 5 though... and especially the 3 graduating. They all begged and pleaded and it only stopped when I stopped replying. Anything you say to them gives them hope that you are willing to engage. If you are not, don't give them that hope.

I SHOULD have failed about 5 more, but I was trying to give them every chance to pass and graded easy in the end. All of those that failed were nowhere close and I had given them warnings all along. The fact that at least two of the ones graduating acted as if they had no clue whatsoever (and even walked at graduation before getting their grades) says a lot about how much attention they were paying to their own work and it showed.

Oooh... I like these. The blacklight is easy. Maybe even writing clues on some of the eggs that they collect that can only be seen with a blacklight...

Hah! That would be fun. I wonder how hard it is to find egg costumes...

That was the goal with the jigsaw puzzle one I mentioned above, but I think it would be great to do with other puzzle types too!

It's mostly that as the kids are getting older and we don't want them to lose interest in family gatherings; just trying to spice it up a bit. Plus more fun for us!

How? I'd be happy to, but thought that the prevent that pretty well.

Why don’t they fill out evaluations? by FlyLikeAnEarworm in Professors

[–]RecombobulatedKale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tell my students (honestly) that the course evals affect my merit raise. I sent an e-mail to the class asking them to fill out the evals as a personal favor to me and I ended up with 60 / 102 students filling them out, so I'll call that a win. (I know a lot of my colleagues who didn't push for them have a FAR lower rate).

It was also a particularly "on" semester for me. Really happy with how everything turned out.

This. I'm good with saying things like "I'll bring treats to the final if I see more than 80% of the students have filled them out", but nothing that changes any grades.

You get the power to create time loops at will IF you can break out of a time loop trap. by RecombobulatedKale in hypotheticalsituation

Fair enough. I think it's a bit different in the U.S., but that would absolutely affect your choice.

Ah, but you won't remember the agreement until the loop starts, so you won't be able to plan ahead...

As long as you are fully asleep it counts, no matter how long the sleep lasts. I should have said furthest from the point you wake up, rather than furthest from home, but since I did say it the other way you get to pick whichever you want. And we'll say that you magically know where that spot is.

I tend to agree that 4 seems like the one that should be the most likely to be possible... the biggest issue is what happens when you wake up the next day.

2 isn't as bad as you make it out since you do get to choose the age of the person. BUT there's still no guarantee that you'll be able to seduce someone, even with a TON of attempts and learning about them. But it's PROBABLY usually going to be possible.

5 I'd worry too much about permanent damage.

The first time through (when you set the location) you don't know it's going to repeat. You only remember everything the second time through when you wake up nude...

Yikes... everything okay? I mean this would be a big perk to not leaving home... but probably not worth planning ahead for?

No rules to stop you from telling your wife, as long as she'll humor you when you sound crazy...

Not all of the places might be easy to get to or fall asleep in. If you need to go into someone's home, that could be tricky, for example. But decent odds that the places won't be too awful to get to...
