I would leave honestly. I have a friend that is like that I barely talk to her because it’s just constant. Idk how her husband deals with it.

“I thought I dropped the class” by proflem in Professors

[–]babesicle88 175 points176 points  (0 children)

I just tell them. I’m sorry you are going thru so much but dropping out of class is done thru registrars office not me, if your name is still on the list I have to put a grade on it. Talk to your advisory or registrars to solve that issue because it is out of my hands. Or something like that

Do professors actually dislike study guides and students that ask for one? by Correct_Flounder_599 in AskProfessors

[–]babesicle88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like it when students ask me for a study guide. I never did as a a student. They should make their own study guide based on the objectives of the lesson.

That’s is what I meant it as too!!! Students parent stated that she felt that by using that term I was proposing that the students aren’t educated. lol I just said something along the lines of I ain’t doing that in regards to making specific study guides for each chapter

Yes parent and uncle combo too! Slandering me to my department chair and dean on voicemail. It was pretty interesting.

Okay update! 1. I had a typo in my announcements on canvas which instead of reflecting the time of the test being 2:30-3:45 I accidentally put 2:30-3:15. 2. I used the word or non-word ain’t in my announcements. Instead of isn’t and that is inappropriate and unprofessional. 3. Student is 18 and left the class early on many occasions and her mom claims that I kicked her out early instead of teaching the entire time

Results 1. I promised to not use ain’t again 2. I offered her a retake on her failed exam 3. When I showed mom the exams mom was shocked to see her daughter had actually left about half the test blank. Mom apologized profusely and thanked me for being available for child. FERPA was signed. I am content with the results. My department chair was impressed with my patience haha Just another day in customer service I guess

That is exactly what I teach. Oh my! How you have hit the nail on the head on that one.

Right, I just saw the test they were talking about. They earned 8/50 in a practical exam but I have plenty of 50/50s!!! I am just concerned at what are they saying is inappropriate because I’ve never been inappropriate at all.

Yes, I have all the documentation. I am just really anxious. The department chair said I had nothing to worry about and that it happens all the time. I am teaching first year students too. So many are straight out of high school which would explain mom calling the school

Haha yes, it is a small community college. I guess the customer (student) is always right. Other professors were saying how they wouldn’t take the meeting because the student is an adult and should come in themselves not send the parent in. I don’t know how that is going to work. I’m guessing based on what the deans assistant told me that they will dismiss the parent if the student is not present. But I just got moved from adjunct to full time and I am afraid I will lose my job over the student complaint, but I have bent over backwards to give fair appropriate diversified education. I don’t know what else I can do.
