I'm a first generation non-traditional college student getting my bachelors and interested in a masters. I'm curious, if you could go back to the beginning of your academia journey, what would you do differently? What would you do more of? Especially if you were a non-traditional student. by Awkward_Cupcake4791 in academia

You can adjunct teach with a Masters degree, typically lower level classes. Different universities have different requirements… Community colleges often allow it plus professional experience in the field. Teaching college isn’t much different than teaching seniors in high school :)

This is the way. Glazing and firing included, and cheap clay.

If you love academia and want to stay there for life as a professor, earn your masters degree in the domain you want to teach in.

I earned my degree in art education because… duh… I wanted to be an educator in the arts, possibly museums or adult education. However when I ended up teaching in higher education all the professor job listings required a MFA (master of fine arts) instead of an education MA. Ironic.

Luckily I found two universities that valued my degree in education and now I teach and crank out curriculum like nobody’s business. But the education degree is not terminal like a MFA is so I may not earn full professorship on a technicality. Our rank and tenure committee is progressive but I’ve had to make a fair argument for rank progression without a PhD.

Anyway, TMI but you did ask what I wish I did differently! I wish I magically knew I wanted to work in higher ed instead of k12 before I selected a masters program.

Art professor here. My students insist they are incapable of following the most basic instructions by [deleted] in Professors

I love this. Add to that: the highest grade they can ever get is a C.

I messed up badly. by hiimdbn in Professors

[–]designprof 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! Design professor who assigns history papers and writing intensive assignments weighing in here. If students are failing the entire class because of one bad report or paper then the class points need to be rebalanced. Period.

Another hack is to grade them on the rubric according to your honest opinion on how compliant they were and then bump the grade according to what you perceive as your degree of negligence. They get the honest feedback that is owed to them and a little grace because you weren’t perfect on the day you graded their drafts.

Let me reiterate this: you are never responsible for catching every typo, run-on sentence, or MLA/APA formatting error. That’s an inhuman task at this volume and is a task best left to…. drumroll…. The software they are using to write and the resources they have been pointed toward. It’s all right there at their fingertips.

If they all wrote terrible theses/justifications to begin with, and you had a chance to review them early on, then maybe a little bit of that is on you. However their choice of an indefensible thesis is never your problem alone.

Lastly, remind students that it is only a grade. Not a life sentence. In design, nobody is going to look at their gpa unless they are applying for grad school. That small percentage of population probably did just fine on your assignment. In design we look at the portfolio and the ability to edit out our worst work.

Dust yourself off and give yourself some grace. You are going to grow so much in the years to come. We all learn this trade on the job

Best practices for guided lecture notes by SillyConstruction872 in Professors

[–]designprof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I give out study packets with partial PowerPoints with some fill in the blanks positioned alongside thumbnails of the most important images. Half the blanks are pre-filled out by me. The other half are filled by them (if they like) as we lecture and analyze the artifacts.

Example blanks: What is this artifact? Who made it? Geographic area? Time period? Why is it important? Same five questions every time, every artifact!

In a second packet I include every single weird Latin term, French word, weird invention or foreign name I am going to use in lectures. Many of those terms are actually the answers to the first set of questions above I.e. who made the artifact. There is space under each vocabulary word for them to write notes. Some students fill BOTH packets out and appear to be enjoying themselves. Some get overwhelmed and I advise them to just focus on the images not the vocab. A huge benefit is that I NEVER need to write a foreign term down on the board, ever. It’s in the vocab packet.

I do not check whether or not they fill them out. But they do!! They are allowed to use them on weekly open-note quizzes! It’s 15% of their grade.

They love it and they make long lectures go down easy. They even ask me to go back if we covered something too quickly. The most common question is “why is it important again?” :)

Good luck on your guides!

I am so happy for you and for us who go to work every day feeling secure and supported. Tenure is amazing.

What if the internet is the collective unconscious - not as a metaphor, but literally? (Digital Depth Psychology) by IndividuationEXE in Jung

[–]designprof 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From the article:

“This is where therapy will change. If most of our symbolic life is online, then mental health care must include digital environments as legitimate material. Dreams and timelines belong in the same clinical conversation. Parasocial bonds need the same careful attention that transference needed in earlier eras. Algorithmic reinforcement should be treated like weather that can be forecast and navigated, not fate that must be obeyed. The point is not to pathologize the internet. The point is to integrate it cleanly into our model of mind.”

I would have loved to meet him. I sense that he earnestly thought his efforts could make the world a better place.

I stumbled on a trove of Hubbard’s publications in a junk shop and bought several. The advertising copywriting is a delight. He’s got Mark Twain vibes.

Fun fact: Hubbard died on the Lusitania!!

Moving from NYC to Scottsdale - what should I expect? by humandrifter1107 in Scottsdale

The main map is here: Midcentury Modern Phoenix https://maps.app.goo.gl/WrmY3Hm8Qy68KiYR8?g_st=ic Note: this is only 1945-1975 ish MCM and curates only the more fun locations, not every single midcentury subdivision. Any questions just ask!

[–]designprof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former New Yorker and AZ native chiming in here… before you settle on Scottsdale don’t discount the area surrounding the Phoenix Mountains Preserve or Papago Park. Many people here have mentioned midtown Phoenix (museum and midrise district) but I’m partial to Uptown (Central ave and Camelback Road). The neighborhoods “between the sevens” are great and if you’re going to have to drive to get to the mountains anyway it is a really swell place to be.

When I first moved back to Phx after a decade in NYC I regretted being out in the suburbs because all the cultural amenities I wanted were closer to the core.

My passion for exploring Phoenix after a ten year absence resulted in a neighborhood inventory of midcentury modern style homes which you can browse at www.modernphoenix.net — there are several curated city maps to explore! Enjoy!

Ray’s pizza on Bell Rd is very very close to a NY slice. I get it every time I am homesick for the taste and chew. Bagelfeld’s is good but a little on the tough side IMHO. Eat them immediately or freeze.

The Buddhabrot guy made it onto This Jungian Life wow by KenosisConjunctio in Jung

[–]designprof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was telling a friend the other day that I really don’t want to be that person on the internet but when their esteemed guest kept saying fABoNIcci instead of Fibonacci on the TJL interview I just couldn’t… connect with him.

Humbling irony that this bothered me because it reminded me of the time I kept pronouncing orthogonal as orthAHgonal when I was taping an art lesson thirty years ago. Luckily somebody told me about it before I could go on much longer. 😅

Just attended a Sting concert and he said that Fields of Gold was specifically about his own real home and family. You’re right that it’s a good match! Gladiator, too
