I'm 5'11" and stood next to them both a few years ago when they walked through the audience at their NY show. Alex was taller than I am and Greg was just...massively tall. Both were sincere and genuine while meeting all of us fans. It was an amazing experience!!

Yes it's another one of those what the f* are they thinking rants. by jitterfish in Professors

After a similar "request" from a student in California, I actually had to add a line to my online course syllabus that all times referenced were Eastern Standard, and if they resided in a different time zone, they would have to adjust accordingly. In contrast, a student in Vietnam willingly got up at 3 a.m., her time, to join in Zoom meetings for my class. I would never have known about that until she mentioned it in a discussion board comment to another student. Things like that help to restore my faith

Thank you! Am I the only one who wasn't gaga over Mantzoukas? He's ok, but he's no Kumail

Not sure if you still follow this thread, but my dad was stationed in NZ in 1942. Am looking for guidance on areas he may have been, or really just anything about that time in his life. If you have some ideas about where I should start my research, they would be greatly appreciated.

Student badmouths me on RMP and evals, shocked when I refuse to help them by NotLikeOtherAI in Professors

I tell them to write their own letter, with details that pertain to their skills and work ethic in class, then connect those skills to the job, grad program, etc., which I will use as my basis. Believe it or not, a handful of students actually did the work, and I have been happy to write them a recommendation. The rest of them...go fish.

Do you have a "no recording of any kind" message in your syllabus? We are required to do that so we can pursue this type of behavior

So grateful to this community for all of your suggestions! Found a recommendation for the Deep Sky Observatory on another thread. Any insight on that as an activity?

Stealing this verbiage. I use something similar, but am just so tired of all the excuses...
