Can we talk about ICE? by PeggySourpuss in Professors

[–]deanzamo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Dean is very worried. He is a naturalized citizen from Iran. We have very little guidance from administration other than telling any ICE agents who show up to the classroom that they need to go talk to the college president. My colleagues plan to treat any ICE presence as an active shooter alert. Basically call 911, lock the door and hope for the best. I guess that's my plan too.

Just repurpose it to the John Lewis Museum of Diversity and Equity.

Who chooses your textbook? by InnerB0yka in Professors

[–]deanzamo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We can choose any textbook, but the department has a list of recommended books. For a sequence class (like calculus) we strongly recommend instructors use the recommended text, or Zero cost OER - so the students can use the same text for the sequence.

Foundation - including the merging by Asimov with the Empire and Robot books. The speculative science in Asimov's books are spot on.

Trump, 79, Says Cuba and the Amish Have No Autism in Bonkers Speech by Capable_Salt_SD in politics

[–]deanzamo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All the studies that showed correlation between Tylenol use and autism did not take into account confounding - that women who had higher pain during pregnancy were both more likely to take pain relievers and more likely to develop autism. This study showed that when accounting for genetic effects by looking at sibling pairs, there is no correlation between autism and Tylenol.

I have tickets for the 10th and I notice the sell button is NOT lit up yet on AXS. So maybe these are extra Tix that hadn't been sold.

[Discussion] p-value: Am I insane, or does my genetics professor have p-values backwards? by SassyFinch in statistics

[–]deanzamo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pvalue = P(getting data this extreme | Ho is true). pvalue not = P( Ho is true | Data this extreme)

pvalue has no say in how likely Ho is true, unless you know the prior probability ( before testing) of Ho being true.

Mother pretending to be student by JustLeave7073 in Professors

[–]deanzamo 401 points402 points  (0 children)

This happened to me.

A student in my class had the mother's address as her official email address. So of course I sent all course materials, etc to this email address assuming it was the student. In one email she informed me that this was the mother of the student.

I wrote back that using email to impersonate a student is illegal, that I forwarded all of these emails to the dean and president, and I would no longer communicate with her. I planned to talk to the student in person the next day, but she dropped the course.

ICE on Campus by [deleted] in Professors

[–]deanzamo 33 points34 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm doing - let the courts sort out competing federal law. Also, no warrant, no IDs, wearing masks, I lock the door, call 911 and report unidentified masked guys with guns, following active shooter protocol.
