Horrible Smutbeast posted:The best part is when your lovely teachers don't even use the school email so everyone has to frantically make sure that they have the right yahoo or hotmail or god knows whatever the gently caress address the teacher actually uses... I had teacher last semester that used a Bellsouth.net address. I didn't even know that those were a thing.

Coffee And Pie posted:In a similar vein, why must every class have a student who feels the need to make comments on everything the professor says, as if it's a personal conversation and not a lecture? And it's almost always to refute a commonly-accepted theory or interpretation with some poorly thought out (or straight-up idiotic) idea. I'd rather have that guy than a room full of people with blank stares who never say a loving thing even when the instructor asks a question and repeatedly asks for a response. I'll never understand people who pay hundreds of dollars for a class and then refuse to get even slightly involved when they have a teacher who actually gives a poo poo and is trying to get them to engage with the material.

Double Plus Good posted:The professor commented to them that she didn't even know how to grade them, since technically their presentation didn't even fill the assignment requirements. That's an easy one. If the presentation didn't fill the assignment requirements, then they didn't do the presentation. The grade for not doing an assignment is a zero. I guess you could take pity on them and give half credit since it seems they did some work.

Coffee And Pie posted:I went to the bathroom the other day, and the stall door would not shut, I had to hold it closed with one hand. Whatever genius installed the latch didn't bother to align the two pieces, apparently. loving lazy piece of poo poo contractors spend a year and a half and receive millions of dollars to renovate the goddamn dorms around here and this poo poo still happens. Edit: That's per dorm, not to do all of the dorms, just to be clear.

Zeether posted:I'm pretty sure that using the same paper for 2 classes is considered plagiarism by a lot of colleges. I had to take several online courses on academic integrity for my college and I believe I remember one section mentioning it. I really don't understand this. If your own work can meet the requirements for two assignments, why the hell shouldn't you be able to use it more than once? Maybe classes shouldn't overlap so much that that even works in the first place? Considering the cost per hour at most colleges, I'd be pretty pissed if two classes overlapped so much that I could pull that off.

A White Guy posted:I have a philsophy class as part of my science major. I had to sit in class today and watch a video where some woman (who's apparently written some philosophical poo poo on the environment) talked about how if we just lived with 'natural' things, everything would be better. While she was wearing a polyester windbreaker. Whenever people try to whip out that old gem I just remind myself (or whoever is saying it if I'm actually talking to them) that arsenic is perfectly natural. Along with methane, cancer, and snake venom.

Public speaking isn't that hard. Just focus on what you're saying and talk louder than you would normally. Maybe stare over people's heads if eye contact causes too much anxiety.

pandaK posted:Just stare right into someone's eyes. Let them know that you know all their secrets. Yeah, it's important to establish dominance in the opening moments. If they get really antsy you may need to hold them by the scruff of their necks and keep them penned. Don't let them go through doors before you, and make it clear that things happen when you want them to happen. This means your puppy will learn to...wait, what thread is this again? Seriously though, I had a teacher who would write up these long rear end summaries of our book chapters in word and literally just read that off the projector as his lecture. It was the most boring thing. Still not the worst instructor I ever had. All my teacher's have known the trade and/or skills they were supposed to be teaching me but man oh man were some of them lousy at actually teaching it.

My school weighted honors classes one point higher than other classes. So a student taking the normal track with all A grades would have a 4.0 while an honors student with the same would have 5.0. Though to be fair they got assigned way more projects and work in general (that their almost uniformly white yuppie parents

Waltermelon posted:Well my University just fired and banned for life a tenured Dean for speaking out against the brutally corrupt, unethical, and shady-as-gently caress, $44.5 million cost cutting "TransformUS" restructuring plan that is slowly destroying the University. This is just my first impression from reading the article but the whole thing reeks of corporate management and shareholder value maximization thinking running afoul of how public education actually works. From the statement from the uni leadership to the name of the program. edit: which is weird because your University president seems to be from an education background. Also it's kind of crazy since he's tenured. My understanding was that you could practically get convicted of publicly murdering someone and still keep tenure. paragon1 has a new favorite as of 00:03 on May 15, 2014 |

That would be funny if people hadn't spent what I'm going to assume was many hundreds of dollars in tuition to attend that class. I'm gonna put on some rose-tinted glasses and assume that all the recent posts about terrible writing at high levels of academia to mean that we're all secretly geniuses.
