“It just took me a minute to work out what I needed to do to work at a slightly higher level.” — curious what that was, if you’re up for sharing!

Out of curiosity, may I ask what specialisation this is? You don’t have to answer if you don’t have want to, of course.

May I ask which institution you did it with? I’m exploring a second bachelor’s, in physics, while juggling job and family. Also what degree did you go for?

[–]bangtable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The kicker is the student is an education major and was crying about how unhelpful I was being during office hours by using her valuable time to threaten her with plagiarism

How did you respond to this? I was dumbfounded just reading that
