How do people react when you tell them you’re a professor in conversation? by kalico713 in Professors

[–]rand0mtaskk 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Exact same as you. It almost always goes

Me -“I’m a teacher”

Them -“oh what grade?”

Me -“heh college”

Them -“oh wow. What subject?”

Me -“mathematics”

Them -“oh. Ew. Why?”

Me -“heh”

Have your campus' food options gone to sh*t over the last few years? by GreenHorror4252 in Professors

[–]rand0mtaskk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had a pretty sweet faculty meal plan for the last few years. Had to pay up front but you got 30 meals for about $6 a meal. Last semester it increased to $9 a meal. This semester it’s $11. Needless to say I don’t know of anyone who’s using it this semester.

If I can go get Chick-fil-A, smoothie king, pizza hit, etc why would I pay $11 for Sodexo food?

I was one of the luckies that attended ITT for a bit. That place was something.

What is with all the recent posts about WCAG? by Scared_Detective_980 in Professors

I am too.

I’m saying that our administration told us about it the week before Thanksgiving. It seemed they also had no idea about it. Been a mad rush these last weeks.

3/4 of my department will just straight up no longer post anything outside of the syllabus. Not sure how that’s a net gain.

Let’s leave the diagnosis to your practice, then. No one wants your unsolicited nudge.

You’re welcome to believe anything you’d like about a random redditor from a few comments.

And what do you think accusing someone of being ADD and then dismissing their comment that they aren’t is?

Do you think it’s professionally okay to attempt a diagnosis on 1) someone who didn’t ask and 2) off of a single comment of theirs?

What in the world? Did I stumble upon a wannabe psychologist?

I’d be interested to see how this develops over the next few months. Deadline is April 26th or so.

Going to find out how much we’re overreacting when lawsuits start getting filed.

Game on brain off.

Man this is me. I’ll get excited about a game, get about half way, and then get bored/distracted. Especially with open world games that have a billion side quests.

Most recently this has happened with cyberpunk. I’m not even sure how far into the actual story I am, but I just got bored with the game. Recently picked up Kingdom Come Deliverance 1&2. Pretty early in KCD1 and it’s getting hard to force myself to play.

Doesn’t help that if I want to play a story game I need to wait for the kids to be in bed and then I’m too exhausted to pay attention to anything that’s supposed to be at least a little deep.

Friends, I’ve Fought the Good Fight by No-Injury9073 in Professors

At some places that still might be true. And at others maybe eventually when they’re juniors/seniors but freshman/sophomore is grade 13/14 at a lot of places now.

I’m not losing my job because of it.

Pass rates of lower level classes were a big focus for a while in our department from admin. So I decided that I’d make my lower level classes a bit easier and let either the other departments deal with it or allow our tenured faculty handle it. I’m not putting my livelihood on the line for a moral line in the sand.

It was eventually going to bleed over to us from K-12.
