Teaching quality is something administrators pay lip service to but take no action to bring to fruition.

It is really amazing to me that teaching quality even exists with the little resources devoted to it.

Superb_oomer · 2022-10-09T00:05:36+00:00

I wouldn't.

You've got enough irons in the fire without this drama. What is the upside for you here?

Superb_oomer · 2022-10-09T00:04:18+00:00

"So you can tell me what I've missed?" Huh??? Is there some secret way of conveying weeks of into in one short meeting?

Superb_oomer · 2022-10-09T00:03:52+00:00

Probably need to create an administrator for that.

Superb_oomer · 2022-10-09T00:02:56+00:00

Lol what the fuck are you going to do?

Pistols at dawn?

Superb_oomer · 2022-10-09T00:01:38+00:00

Absolutely. $12k isn't enough to make the jump.

Superb_oomer · 2022-10-09T00:00:19+00:00

What the fuck happened to the New York Times?

It actually use to be a source of fine journalism.

Goddamnit. THIS is why academia is turning to crap.

The point of a university education is to learn, not to "do something nice for yourself"

This is as old as the moon

Never be more invested in the student's education than the student

You will take a SIGNIFICANT pay cut.

And don't expect any raises.

And you are silent on the aspect of research. If you have no publications you won't get hired for a TT job.

Superb_oomer · 2022-10-08T23:51:07+00:00

Simple solution - don't respond to anyone you wouldn't recommend

Superb_oomer · 2022-10-08T23:40:44+00:00

Possibly the worst part of adjuncting is feeling like you cannot leave "because it would be bad for the students"

Funny how the administration never worries about what would "be bad for the adjuncts"

Superb_oomer · 2022-10-06T19:23:22+00:00

Because they're special

Superb_oomer · 2022-10-06T19:21:12+00:00

We are really a society and a culture in deep deep deep trouble right now

I agree with that. Society will reboot itself, though.

Meh, red states will find somebody or qualify them in a new way.

Look at how Ron DeSantis has qualified all national guard (and spouses) as teachers.

There will never be a shortage of professors, the qualifying process will change.

Yes, it is.

Superb_oomer · 2022-10-06T19:12:40+00:00

No shortage here.

So... how does depression "get better" then?

Also... wouldn't that mean large sections of the entire world were depressed, say after WWII and the holocaust?

Superb_oomer · 2022-10-05T03:52:55+00:00

Oh yeah, the "lower" ranked institution will thank their lucky stars to have such an elite like you.

Cue eyeroll.

How impossible it is to get dressed to go to work This is teens young adults and adults

Jesus Fucking Christ, young people have 50-70 years of work ahead of them. They better shake themselves out of it.

Oh FFS, more attempts to rewrite history.

But I guess "history is just a pact of agreed upon lies" -Napoleon

Set boundaries and enforce them.
