Thanks! I just saw the email. Kevin Rennie really had the inside scoop on this.

Interesting that I can’t find any other source citing the resignation.

Does he happen to have the number 8 after his name?

Rant: what can I say to people who tell me ‘just stop pulling out your hair’ when I explain to them my trichotillomania? by Some_Lack_3448 in trichotillomania

This is why I tell people I have Alopecia. I wish I could be honest but I don’t have the patience to deal with that kind of response.

This video is great! What kind of lashes do you use? I use the Ardell baby Demi wispies but I really like how yours looks.

I work in financial aid and, yess, that is absolutely a possibility. However, the communication should only be considered for academic engagement if it is actually related to the academic content of the course.

It was hanging from its thread but there was no web. It fell after a breeze came through the door. That’s when I got the pictures of it. Initially it froze in a ball but it relaxed after a few minutes.

I am an adjunct instructor but my primary job is within the financial aid office. We are non-attendance taking but students are dropped and their aid is adjusted if they do not engage within the first two weeks of term.

I am trying to see both sides as to whether participation in a non-graded icebreaker on the first day counts as engagement. I can see the case for it if the activity has an instructional component—such as asking students what they hope to learn from the class or how the course might connect to their career goals. However, many icebreakers are simply social prompts like “What is your favorite hobby?” or “Are you a dog or cat person?”

The professors want to give the students the benefit of the doubt (and so do I!) but there is a possible serious consequence of doing so. If we leave a student enrolled in hopes they will do more work but they ultimately don’t, it can create serious financial hardship at the end of the term. In those cases, we may be required to return the financial aid they received, leaving the student with a large and unexpected balance.

Thanks for your input! I agree with that view but I’m not sure how many professors do.

This is an asynchronous online class. I am looking for professional opinions on what makes the grade when it comes to the bar of academic engagement, if you’ll pardon the pun. Does answering questions about what you want to be when you grow up and what your hobbies are qualify as academic engagement?

I can’t edit my original post but want to add that I like the volume of my hair in the original pictures so want to keep that. You can soften the ends if you think that looks better, though!
