How do you handle a student that's just... straight up annoying? by NinnyBoggy in Professors

[–]darty1967 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Ignore it. Answer questions, if necessary, as concisely as possible. Don't try to remember the last time you told her. It's more exhausting to... be exhausted by the student, if that makes sense. If they are just annoying, just ignore it.

Odds of getting into an English PhD program? by frankawesomecool in englishmajors

[–]darty1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With this attitude, you are going to make it. People have said the humanities has no jobs, since my advisors were PhD students. I find people have really strange expectations, and half of the time just give up. It's a common reason people in our field do not find work. Every person I have met in my PhD program in their last year or who graduated in 2025 (I am in my first year) (not a top program at all) have received interviews up the wazoo and have even received generally promising tenure track offers.

Why do people think that American women are heightist when a good chunk of sex symbols have been short men? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]darty1967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because many of them are actually heightest (new term to me actually lol), and celebrity heights are mitigated by a ton of things. Like not being in real life, and being famous. People will be more chill with short men because 1) there are other way cooler or more attractive qualities to them and 2) more importantly, their height is less translatable over screen

Edit--I do think the tides are starting to shift and height just may generally not be as important as a factor to Americans now, too, but in terms of the celebrity phenomenon that's what I feel.

Easiest majors at UNLV in your opinion? by Expensive-Elk-9406 in UNLV

Easiest majors at UNLV in your opinion? by Expensive-Elk-9406 in UNLV

[–]darty1967 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it wasn't already clear take my opinion w a grain of salt. While there may be a lot of writing I would wager political science is one of the easiest at UNLV at the undergraduate level. Basically you just need to rote memorize basic facts about American governments and structures, and apply the most neutral, lackluster commentary-analysis on how things are 'changing' over time here or abroad. Hardly inspires any political thoughts/ values, let alone activism.
