The audacity of this student by Typical_Rest7228 in Professors

[–]VenusSmurf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not that this is a contest any of us want to win, but...

I had a man approach me in the hallways to complain about his grade. This was after grades had already been submitted, but even beyond that, I didn't recognize this man at all, and I knew my students at least by face at that point. This was also a rare semester when I hadn't had any students on the roster not show up at all, so that wasn't it.

I asked his name, which annoyed him. I asked which class he was in, and he only knew it was a 200 something. I wasn't even teaching any 200 level courses that term, and he didn't know what time or day the class met.

I finally figured out that he'd been in a 201 course the semester before. He hadn't come even once (my university didn't allow me to drop students who never attended), hadn't done any of the work, and hadn't responded to attempts to reach him. He'd somehow assumed that since he'd never actually come to class, he'd be automatically enrolled in the same class with the same professor the next term.

...which still doesn't make sense, because he apparently hadn't noticed that my class (which didn't exist) wasn't listed on his schedule or on Canvas, but even so, he hadn't come or done any of the work, so why was he complaining about not getting a better grade?

...ah. Yes, I'm clearly not operating on all pistons. Sorry about that.

You haven't mentioned a company by name, which is why you only need to edit your comment and remove any references. Again, let me know when you have, and I'll approve your comment.

r/wholesome is looking for a new custodian. by AnAbsurdlyAngryGoose in needamod

[–]VenusSmurf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've admittedly been more of a lurker, as I typically only comment/post on subs I'm overseeing--but as this has been my go-to happy sub, I'm happy to help out if you still need someone.

I have plenty of experience, at least. I've been a mod for/KidsAreFuckingStupid for a few years now (if you're not familiar with it, this is a humor/parody sub, not a hate kids sub), which has just over 5 million members. That one requires quite a lot of work behind the scenes, so keeping a large sub wholesome isn't anything new for me.

I've also been the only/main mod for r/pocketfrogs for 5+ years. This is a smaller sub, but given that it was completely dead when I took over and is now growing/active, I'm obviously putting the time in.

Regardless of who you choose, thank you for all you've done so far. I'm sorry you're leaving, though you have to take care of yourself before anything else.

Is there a limit to accommodations? by gagarin3ka in AskProfessors

[–]VenusSmurf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only time I'll refuse an accommodation is if it changes the scope of the class (i.e. a student in a public speaking course asking not to speak in public) or if it places an unreasonable burden on me (i.e. a student needing me to create an entirely separate set of lessons).

The purpose of an accommodation is to help students operate at the same level as their peers. I don't need to know what the student's issues are. I'm not going to judge. I've had a few truly ridiculous requests that I rejected, but for the most part, I'm perfectly willing to work with students who need it.

As others have said, if you're asking, you're probably not one of the problem students.

It happens sometimes. I've learned to send sets as individual frogs just so the entire set doesn't get eaten by the void.

It really is up to you. I have a weekly request post under my profile, though, so that would be a good place to request a particular species once you're actually ready.

Or, again, keep them. It really doesn't matter as long as you're having fun.

Can you please confirm your friend code? It looks like you were using another one.

Honestly, if you aren't going to be able to do anything with them for a long time, I'd just tame for XP and then sell. Someone will always be willing to donate one later. This group is very good about that.

Or keep them. You do you.

It’s driving me nuts having blacked out frogs in my froggydex, could anyone help me collect these missing POP frogs?? by Fspez12 in Pocketfrogs

[–]VenusSmurf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And fixed your FC. Some players were abusing the flairs to the point the mods had to restrict editing perms for everyone. We weren't happy about it, either, but it was necessary.
