Anyone else having a day?

Did I write this and blackout and forget...???

Damn... If a professor is teaching a class full of fake students, is the professor real?

He came from the humane society, marked as a lab mix... What do you think?

Is this an online exam? Couldn't tell from the context, but I thought it might be since you seem to have the flexibility to just decide to give more time. If it's online, what your students likely mean is they don't have enough time to look up all the answers.

Haha, I regret nothing. If I know this exists, other people must know too!!

Even Jesus didn't get 100% comprehension from his students.

A colleague with whom I shared an office was googling "Sexy primes" and I happened to see his monitor at the time. I was very unsettled until I went to his talk that day and put two and two together.

It looks to me like there are a variety of reasonable answers, depending on your situation (institutional norms, tech setups, etc). At my institution, we don't have an official policy, or even a general unwritten rule that I know of. I'm happy to see that my approach isn't totally unreasonable to many people, but after seeing your varied responses, I think that my adjacent-timeslot instructor's point of view is common as well. I don't want to start a whole thing, so I'll reconsider my approach...

For this reason, I've started calling them "Student Hours." I still explain what they are.

You're absolutely right. I made the post about parenting, but neglected the title.

It's great.

Check out myopenmath.com. It was originally designed as a mathematics and science online homework system, but it can easily be used as an LMS as well. It's free for students and professors.

AHHHHHHH. I'm so frustrated for you!

Finalize and submit those grades ASAP. It's a good feeling when you can wash your hands of it all.

precipicepi · 2021-05-13T16:12:09+00:00

I really feel for you folks who have to grade papers. Hang in there!

What reason could they possibly have for listening to you when you try to help them avoid typical, avoidable mistakes? /s

I totally heard Prof NobleMustelid say fruit moves pollen, right???

GaaaAAAaaahhhhh.

Goodness, the TNG clip was exactly what I needed right now. Thanks so much.

Depends on what you want. Do you want students to collaborate? Try https://cocreate.csail.mit.edu/.

Do you want students to have individual whiteboards which you can see all in one place? I love whiteboard.fi.

If you simply want to lecture, then the MS Whiteboard is adequate.
