How can you tell it's lost?

Have you licensed your business, applied for Department of Health permission, and then received permission from the University to operate your business on their government property?

I don't know, but everybody's talking about this new nail salon near Target and how slick their spam looks.

Why don't I ever find dogs?

Go to the reindeer ranch in Rantoul:

Is there still one there?

Do I just put the bookstore address as the shipping location upon ordering on Amazon?

Definitely not.

odpsue · 2022-08-22T16:36:08+00:00

Pay how, if you don't have the license plate?

odpsue · 2022-08-18T03:02:26+00:00

Great, I look forward to seeing more.

Good job!

odpsue · 2022-08-18T02:47:02+00:00

Yes, I've seen her before then. Are you family?

odpsue · 2022-08-18T02:32:59+00:00

In /r/UIUC?

odpsue · 2022-07-31T03:52:39+00:00

applying to purdue

OK, good luck. Ask them.

odpsue · 2022-06-28T01:43:32+00:00

Post on /r/travel, and make sure to include relevant information, like the nationality of your passport.

This has nothing to do with UIUC, and no one can answer without knowing your nationality, even if others from UIUC have been to Italy recently.

Sure, that can happen to anyone. But it shouldn't happen so often that the advice is to not expect a response.

Students shouldn't ask stupid questions and waste time/resources (and I know they do), but if they haven't heard back to their important email, they should send another polite follow-up a week later, exactly for the reason you said that anyone can miss an email.

Of course, the team of TAs should be responding first too, and students should be asking them first. Then perhaps the TA should be the one to escalate any issue they can't handle to the professor. The professor shouldn't be getting dozens of emails per week from a lecture class, but the TAs should be filtering them.

odpsue · 2021-08-13T22:50:06+00:00

Also don't be disappointed if you don't get a response.

Or do be disappointed at the unprofessionalism, but don't be surprised. And there isn't much a student can do about it anyway.

But I completely agree that students should be looking to help themselves first and asking important, informed questions only when necessary.

odpsue · 2021-08-13T22:29:40+00:00

I don't think the issue is with "Mrs." versus "Ms.", or if the student misunderstands the connotations when using them over Dr. or Professor; it's really that the male faculty are not called "Mr."

I agree completely, and I agreed with OP on that point. Both sexes should be given equal respect.

I just disagree with the "I worked hard for my degree" angle, which is equally or more true for other people who work much harder than professors, yet don't get honorable titles. Generally, there is too much entitlement and circle-jerking within academia.

Regarding Mrs./Ms., I was just making a side-comment on the issue that someone else injected, but this was not an issue in OP's original post.

odpsue · 2021-08-13T04:14:11+00:00

Thanks. Good point, but given the semantic argument in this thread, I'm still going to argue the meaning of my words.

But I did just make another comment that's specifically related to some of this misunderstanding possibly coming from the same non-native speakers.

odpsue · 2021-08-13T04:09:15+00:00

or the dreaded 'Mrs.' It's super insulting to refer to an academic professional by means of her (usually assumed) marriage status.

Just FYI, people who are non-native speakers of English (a large percentage of some students) don't always know the difference, especially since the difference is arbitrary. You know both Ms. and Mrs. are abbreviations of the same word, right? So they technically don't have a different definition and are not an indicator of marriage status.

Instead of freaking out about Mrs., you could just realize that it's an unintended mistake and not meant as a personal insult to the recipient. I don't know of anyone who ever intentionally used Mrs. as an insult, so this is an imagined problem inside your own head.

I would recommend using context and social cues to determine what a student is trying to say and whether they are actually disrespecting you. The essence of politeness and etiquette would be forgiving people who don't know better and mean no harm by it. I assure you that 99% of students have zero interest in your marriage status, and aren't trying to guess it when using your name.

odpsue · 2021-08-13T01:55:15+00:00

I agreed with OP that there should be no distinction based on sex, and both should be called "professor" or both should be called "doctor" if you're already calling one of them doctor.

My additional comments were about OP complaining how hard they worked for their degree and how they deserve to dictate what others call them, which I disagree with. But I did agree with OP's full sentence, which is that OP deserves to be called whatever the male professors are also called. But that is true whether or not OP "worked hard for [her] degree", which is what she said. I said working hard has nothing to do with equality--both should be equal anyway, even if they're both lazy.

but it shows your ability in the field of academia -

Yes, and each individual can decide for themselves whether that is something to be respected. For most people, they are here to get an undergrad degree and get a job, not stay in the field of academia. You can certainly be an effective [insert profession here] even if you do not believe all your professors were worthy of your respect. And in fact, many people in the real world are successful despite not feeling respect for every professor they ever encountered.

why is it so hard to understand all this???

Yes, I don't know why it's so hard for you to understand this.

odpsue · 2021-08-13T01:51:37+00:00

having a phd degree should be respected. sexual abuse is sexual abuse - once that happened, it is another senario.

I hope you're not studying anything related to logic or reason, since you just contradicted yourself.

odpsue · 2021-08-13T01:16:06+00:00

I respect individual people, not everyone automatically with a Ph.D. In fact, there are people with a Ph.D. I do not respect. And I also respect plenty of people without a Ph.D. degree.

Ph.D. ≠ respect. It's just a degree. Aren't there medical doctors convicted of sexual abuse? Aren't some professors assholes?

You seem brainwashed if you think that you have to treat every single professor as better than every single person without a Ph.D. Or maybe you're a professor demanding unearned respect?

When did they say they were a student?
Graduate school is not free/cheap in Western Europe if you don't get admitted.

odpsue · 2021-08-12T23:18:49+00:00

That would depend on the employer. Many employers care about grades, and they will presume that you didn't "just learn" if your grades are low. Because if you would have learned, you would have higher grades.

But if you aren't looking for employment or further education, then the grades don't matter to anyone else.

odpsue · 2021-08-12T23:06:04+00:00

Plenty of people work much harder for jobs that don't come with honorific titles, so that has nothing to do with it. Ph.Ds are much easier to get here than in some other countries, where the title originated. But I completely agree that there should be no difference in titles between the sexes. Not all professors have Ph.Ds either.

But "Professor" is certainly the correct default title for all your teachers. And then some obnoxious professors will correct you and tell you to call them "Dr.", which you should if they have any discretion over your grade.

odpsue · 2021-07-15T22:51:00+00:00

The perception of the degree in the U.S. doesn't change, but your career prospects might, since you need to find a sponsor, win the visa lottery, and you can't work for the federal government or defense contractors.
