they do, in fact, try this regularly. unions usually try to push back against this and it's why professors are really loving weird about their recordings and such. adjuncts are underrepresented and underinformed though, and are ripe to be exploited! woo!

Really? This seems really bad.

What does the school do when the students actually want to communicate with the professor about stuff?

rn it's mostly just reusing lecture material and having lower paid adjuncts teach the prebuilt class

contingents are incredibly abused and are basically gig workers, so why not have them do the actual lecture and steal the course from someone else

I'm sure they'd like to just cut out that as well if they could but having someone to email and argue about grades is why your students pay for your courses

The administrator reads the name of the new TA for that semester, then the video editor splices that name in wherever the professor refers to their TA.

Adjunct professors are those guys with signs next to the overpasses. "Will teach for food."



It's funny that the people I know who will quickly say that teachers don't get the pay/benefits they deserve, but the second they hear about a teacher's strike (or just a demand for better treatment) they immediately reverse course on that.

ideally everything works like coursera where the coursework and tests are graded via computer magic and you're just paying for an office hours bitch

but still thousands of dollars per course OF COURSE

It's a garbage system. But it makes sense for the strangeness in a lot of my graduate courses.

I'm going to drive 3 hours to the college campus and demand in person office time. :colbert:

man, even the total is lowballed

(450 + 150) / 12 = 50 gbp per month for the insurance, plus 40 for groceries and 10 for cell service is already a 100. even ignoring the presents (also listed at 50 per month), thats not exactly 90.

since he clearly lives at home, im guessing mum/dad pays the insurance too

Rage clicks are stats to show to advertisers / bosses. They will keep churning these out while there is a fool to interview / invent for one and people to get angry and share it.

I wonder what proportion is rage clicks and what proportion is like, boomers looking for evidence to reenforce their lovely internal biases that Kids These Days are just darn dumb and lazy and if they just gave up their daily avocado starbucks they'd be fine

Cuz I bet there's a lot more of those people than you'd expect or hope there'd be, and they're exactly the kind of people who would eagerly gloss over the usual "well sure his parents gave him a house and got him a job at the family money farm" or w/e detail they throw in at paragraph 8

Not that quick though? The owner of my work got hair plugs and they took a month or two to not look super weird although maybe he had a weird reaction or got cheap ones? I almost got fired cause I didn’t know what was up and I asked him how he got such a bad sunburn
