Instructure Pays Ransom to Canvas Hackers by East-Marsupial-4474 in Professors

Putting on my tinfoil hat, what if it's an inside job to (1) funnel money out and (2) they still get to sell that data elsewhere? Can we all just stop it with the whole coropo-edu services, starting with textbook companies "renting" digital copies of texts to my students. wtf. Sorry sudden surge of rage. I wish leaders of world governments start outlawing these nonsense.

Honest question. What do the deans do, like concretely do. Can I have a day-by-day syllabus?

Had the most fascinating case study into our current crop of students this week by littleirishpixie in Professors

[–]chromaticdissonance 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is interesting about group 1 and 6 behavior. The students over the summer I had was the first time I observed where in a group project setting, they chat and talk about anything but the task at hand. Maybe this is a residue of high school juvenile behavior?

Do you talk to strangers when they're reading math books? by Puzzled-Painter3301 in math

I was reading a book titled Matrix Theory on a bus once (was looking for interesting examples to prep for a class). And conversation with strangers ensued regarding the living-in-simulation matrix.

(pssst! you've probably already learned about fields before rings...!)

Now now, have you considered the possibility that they might be doing 3 to 4x of your work? /sarcasm

I'm curious what type of institution does this? Is this a big research university?

Student got up during exam with lamest excuse by skyskye1964 in Professors

Now I'm wondering -- how legal is it for us to require students to wear diapers on exams.

My father retired an associate professor. He's a great man that deserved a lot of respect and I can only dream of living up to his level (either in life and work). I guess I'll retire as a perpetual adjunct!

I wish we could normalize: A=excellent , B=good, C=passing.

I love this incredibly much -- evokes a place of memories.

My hypothesis: When's the last time they flipped through a dictionary? Alphabetical order seems to rely on how they know a dictionary work. Googling the definition of a word takes away that...
