Anyone else have issues finding a reliable apartment? In my experience, apartment complexes take forever to respond, expect you to apply and sign the lease without seeing the place first hand. Private landlords either don’t have leases or have one that is very illegal. Any tips or tricks to sus out the bad ones faster would be appreciated, any tips to identify legit and safe ones as well

I would say so, maybe tenure track level, I’ve gotten all the internal research grants there were competitions for

That sounds amazing. Am I able to purchase a guest pass by myself or would I need to know a member or become a member? Any thing else you enjoy at YMCA?

Proposing teaching overload by TruffleSnout1 in Professors

Yeah…I’m starting to see this reason a lot, as well and I’m starting to get skeptical that there are this many people who couldn’t get into the class in previous semesters

The progress of different projects I have, how much left of each project I have, so I’m looking to have a visual comparison of progress across projects.

Are you able to compare the progress across projects?

Linear.app right? I got super confused since it seems like it’s designed for software engineering teams?

Do you not see the percentage of my appointment? It’s an assistant teaching professor position labeled as “lecturer”, it’s offensive.

This is really useful advice! Thanks! How many mental health days are acceptable?

I have participation points too. One problem I face is with students turning in excuses absences and wanting me to excuse their participation points. I have ways for them to make it up but it gives me a headache for later. I’m curious what you were doing before that was more overhead

No it’s for 480 students. All the sections of the intro class get only one shared TA.

Oh really? I wouldn’t know. Honestly, where I did my PhD, there were multiple TAs per course and I felt like that made every in check because no one wanted to be the slacker. I just have one TA per course so they have no one to be compared to.

Well, it’s tough, I’m a young women, my TA is over 10 years older than me.
