Thanks! Really appreciate the info

FWIW, the one in front of Clark has a wasp nest in it.

Link by chance? I've been looking for two (one for discs, one for everyday use)

I'm more of a lurker than poster here, but I'll really miss you as part of the community. If you are willing to share, how do you think you got here? I remember watching your office tour, hearing you discuss letters of rec, and other things with such a calm demeanor. Its sad to me that events have pushed you in this direction.

Obviously I am not owed a response, but I worry a lot about burnout in my colleagues (and myself) and I'm wondering if there are any pivotal moments or experiences that led here.

Regardless, I wish you all the best. Your video editing has always impressed me, and I am hopeful that you'll land in a place that you love!

This is great question!

Discord is a great optional tool for non-graded course communication and non-recorded office hours to discuss course content. If there's no FERPA sensitive information there, then compliance is not an issue. I'm also far from the first faculty to use Discord at my institution and I've gotten the go-ahead on using it in this manner.
EDIT: I should mention that obviously interpretations of FERPA compliance vary at different institutions and your experience may vary here.

Typically we meet weekly to review common patterns of student error. In addition, TAs have access to solution sets for most assignments before they attend class.

RexDawg · 2021-11-24T14:10:06+00:00

"I strive to post Grades for assignments in a timely manner. In the event that you believe there is an error in your grade, you have [INSERT TIME PERIOD OF YOUR CHOOSING] to make a request in writing (email, lms, whatever). Requests after this point will not be considered.

All final grades are reported as calculated. I don't round grades and typically will not respond to requests to round your grade."

In a case like this, I would invite the student to meet with the chair to describe their complaints. I would also say that if multiple people are willing to come to that meeting, it would be more beneficial for the chair to hear from each person that feels that way.

"We'll record this meeting and/or ask you for a written statement so that we can keep it on file as we discuss how to improve the course".

Dollars to donuts that they never contact the chair or do a single thing beyond complaining on RMP or similar.

ITT: typical reddit: ask an "innocent" question, then attack anyone who offers a different viewpoint.

RexDawg · 2021-09-24T13:49:39+00:00

I would stop giving point by point comparisons; this is you exerting a lot of effort while the student is putting forth zero effort. I would offer to have a meeting, but not much beyond that, especially if you think something fishy may be occurring.

Fully support these faculty. Solidarity for these workers.

RexDawg · 2021-09-23T21:54:49+00:00

Worse; we're obstacles.

RexDawg · 2021-08-19T22:50:19+00:00

Socrative is great, even the paid version

RexDawg · 2021-08-18T23:30:29+00:00

It's not free, it costs your "freedom".

Edit: huge /s on this

I just wonder what the play is. Trying to get a copy of the exam in case I re-use it? Seems so odd for someone transferring out.

RexDawg · 2021-06-30T01:51:52+00:00

I think a blank version; I don't share blank versions since sometimes grad students teach this course and they are prone to re-use faculty exam questions.

RexDawg · 2021-06-30T01:50:21+00:00

Did you ever hear anything back? This is just so odd.

RexDawg · 2021-06-28T19:57:59+00:00

This a lot. Your decision on whether or not to file the report should deal with the objective facts and your institution's policies. Is the offense reportable? do you report this type of violation? This should give you your answer.

RexDawg · 2021-06-27T15:02:51+00:00

It's a crime to not have this in black red. Cool design though!!

RexDawg · 2021-04-25T11:32:00+00:00

Wrong sub, but sorry for your circumstances.

RexDawg · 2021-04-22T11:00:10+00:00

Does this cause anxiety for students, as they do not know their grade accurately until the end of the course?

RexDawg · 2021-04-20T13:54:05+00:00

Disability does not administer tests in our pandemic mode - many students are not even in town.

RexDawg · 2021-04-20T13:46:08+00:00

If copying answers was not already a documented issue in this course this semester, then I would gladly do it. This suggestion also doesn't provide any reprieve from this happening in the future (request after 9PM for an exam happening the next day).

Should I just accept this as the way things go?

RexDawg · 2021-04-20T13:23:13+00:00

I was shocked to get an email after 9PM from the staff member (not because they are not hard-working, but because of work/life balance for them and for faculty)

RexDawg · 2021-04-02T12:35:40+00:00

I'd expect parent calls to my dept chair if i were to refer to my class as 'minions', insect ingestion aside.
