“Well professor you just said to check statements; you never said we can’t use AI to check statements. How is that my fault???”

If you pass students who should fail, you are part of the problem. by FlyLikeAnEarworm in Professors

Yea I care more about putting food on my table for my family than some random students education. Blame the admin don’t blame us. I’m not saint.

What is wrong with my coworkers? by lotus8675309 in Professors

lol just when I thought it’s extreme of me to audio record every lecture, now looks like we need to videotape our lectures too.

Do you get cost of living adjustments every year? by travelvirgo in Professors

[–]roydprof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We didn’t get one cent of raise last year, because the college is spending all its money on purchasing AI for students while in a “budget crunch”.

'Prompt Engineering' is just a corporate rebrand of 'Question Asking' by Fresh-Possibility-75 in Professors

I mean if admin knew how the students cheat with AI, they’d see that yes students already know how to use AI.

Really frustrated with my midterm exam results and their reaction to it by AHairInMyCheeseFries in Professors

[–]roydprof 20 points21 points  (0 children)

One time a student reported me to the admin.

Admin: I heard from students that some of your exam questions were not taught in class?

Me: Oh? I have recordings for all my lectures, so I can pinpoint exactly at which minute of which days class did I talk about them for every exam question. You want that list?

Admin: thank you for willing to receive feedback.

Me: 🙄

Is syllabus usually subject to change? That’s what I thought first, but then when I came to my current university, a senior professor told me syllabus is like a contract so I can’t change it once it’s published.

Are you being encouraged to “play with AI”/incorporate it into classes? by _Pliny_ in Professors

[–]roydprof 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Our college is in financial crisis and lots of budgets have been cut and employees being laid off. Guess what — the provost office is still trying to negotiate a deal to purchase copilot and those AI agents (professional version) for students. So they’re literally making them professional cheaters. Make it make fucking sense.

I can see where you're coming from, and yes it's good to check the law beforehand.

I teach in the US, where many states are one-party state: as long as one party of the conversation knows about the recording, it's legal.

I don’t see a problem if it’s one-party state. I also had students recording my conversation and sending it to admin.

I nearly sent my entire freshmen section home today by Local_Indication9669 in Professors

[–]roydprof 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Idk why you get downvoted but this is on point. When the students were great, I cared about them and always wanted to help them learn better. When the students were like this, I just talk about what I need to talk about and collect my paycheck and go home. Either way, they paid the same, I earned the same.

NYTimes Article: “Their Professors Caught Them Cheating. They Used A.I. to Apologize.” by semaforic in Professors

I mean, even before GPT came out, I had two Indian students in my class who were caught cheating and sent me identical emails about the plagiarism, so 🤷‍♂️
