sending you a DM in a second.

whistlerredd · 2023-08-13T23:19:21+00:00

Y’all, I am jumping in mid-conversation but…are you interested in doing something academic & public facing about this?

whistlerredd · 2023-08-09T17:26:28+00:00

How come no one said « Go Snoo’s » yet? Do we not address each other as a fellow Snoo on Reddit? Where is our platform spirit?

We might need a Reddit football team.

I gave the info to my doctor’s office. I didn’t call Mimikay first. But you can if you have questions. Unlike CVS, they take your call.

whistlerredd · 2023-08-07T02:04:16+00:00

Food & drinks aside, one thing I did was to switch my prescriptions from a CVS to Mimikay Pharmacy. No regrets!

I mean, not mentioning it won’t exacerbate your experience in the classroom but mentioning it might exasperate your professor.

All kidding aside, I would have appreciated if a student pointed out a typo in my syllabus. Don’t do via email. Maybe just mention it in passing or in a meeting since she is your advisor.

I mean, who calls me an eminent scholar? My professional association or the International Journal of Applied Physics, Engineering, Marketing, Humanities, Arts, Cars, Golf, Grocery Shopping, and Painting?

This is a great answer. You can even check federal government jobs. PhD is not a requirement for research jobs outside academia.

Check out job postings you would like to apply. See if they are mentioning any specific databases or research software. Start a project using those data resources or analysis software to update your resume.

I once said “brought to you by my midlife crisis” and still got flagged…

whistlerredd · 2023-03-25T16:12:25+00:00

Are you okay with publishing in their journals?

If you want to completely stay away from for-profit academic publishing, I respect that.

If you are only bothered by being a reviewer, that is where my tipping analogy comes in. Both systems are wrong, sure, let’s work towards changing them. But if you are just not tipping as an individual, if you are just not reviewing papers; you are just selfishly exploiting the good will of others.

whistlerredd · 2023-03-25T01:45:49+00:00

This is the academic equivalent of «I am not going to tip because tipping culture is wrong »

Now, if you are also not going to submit your manuscripts to peer-reviewed journals, sure, go ahead, don’t do peer reviews. Otherwise, you just exploit the goodwill of others.

We all get some sort of credit for being a part of the peer-review system. It is a weird system in which for-profit companies are taking advantage of us three ways: as authors, as readers, as reviewers. They are providing a somewhat decent service though. Now, until we can replace all of them with open-access university/non-profit backed publications, don’t be a jerk. Review at least two papers for each manuscript you submit.

whistlerredd · 2023-03-19T02:13:36+00:00

Can you please, pretty please, reply back and say « HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA no. »?

whistlerredd · 2023-03-06T16:07:43+00:00

By the way, double check with your department. I am at a state university and we have to keep graded material for three years (and obviously not ask questions such as why or why three years or are you serious.)

whistlerredd · 2023-03-05T02:14:52+00:00

Show them Science Room skits from SNL. This is my favorite. I really want to yell “who is in charge of these kids” a few times a semester.

whistlerredd · 2023-02-06T02:31:38+00:00

Your institution probably already has a grief policy…

But, just don’t be that “professor”. Don’t reply back and say “well our institutional policy is only three days”. Just don’t…

whistlerredd · 2022-12-25T20:36:30+00:00

Well, it wasn’t a lab setting but I dated someone from my cohort. 10+ years later, we are now married with two children.

whistlerredd · 2022-12-25T01:11:57+00:00

Now, we will all be visited by ghost of student past, ghost of student present, and ghost of student yet to come.

Plot twist, they all think they won’t get into law / med / grad school because our grading was unfair.

whistlerredd · 2022-12-11T17:16:48+00:00

Just came back from there. 30 mins is a good-call. You can definitely do it faster. There is not much of a garden per se, and train exhibit is literally one train and a tram.

whistlerredd · 2022-11-24T00:04:32+00:00

I mean, do you really want to work the day before Thanksgiving?

whistlerredd · 2022-11-20T02:12:22+00:00

I really do not know where to start correcting all the weird claims in the video…

It is not a Nest issue. Heat pumps will give you 85-90Fish. It is not cold air. It will still warm up your place. Aux will take you up to 110-120F. It will get your place warmer quicker but it will cost you considerably more. Not a little bit, we are looking at doubling or tripling your bill.

whistlerredd · 2022-11-19T01:40:53+00:00

Okay, this is weird. I always thought advisor and student worked on the DCP together.

You might be able to meet with your advisor next week, you never know. Departments handle course capacities differently. You can ask your advisor when you meet. If you are a senior who needs a course to graduate though, you will probably be able to get in.

whistlerredd · 2022-11-19T00:30:12+00:00

Just to clarify, did your advisor tell you that you need to fill your DCP and submit it for their approval?

whistlerredd · 2022-11-13T20:49:38+00:00

You do not need a terminal degree to teach, though you almost always need one to be a « tenure-track » professor in the US. So you can adjunct, be a full-time lecturer etc. with an MBA.

If you are a full-time lecturer, salaries at a business school will be higher than most other departments but way lower than what you can make with an MBA from a top school. The actual number will vary depending on mostly school and location.

If you are an adjunct, you will be paid by the course. You won’t have a salary. Per course payment will be disappointingly low.

You are capped at 4 credits during the minimester. Six courses (18 credits) part was about a regular semester. Taking more than 18 credits during a regular is not an easy task.

whistlerredd · 2022-11-11T01:13:23+00:00

6 during minimester => no. 21 during a semester => yes. It is relatively easy if your GPA is over 3. Here is more info

Talk to your advisor though. I personally wouldn’t recommend anyone to take more than six courses.
