🇪🇷Götterdämmerung<p>First day of Spring semester: when professors emerge from hibernation to face a sea of deadeyed students, with the futile hopes our syllabus isn't longer than their attention span. </p><p><a href="https://glitch.social/tags/professorlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>professorlife</span></a></p>
Tony Pennino<p>Just reviewed my students’ comments from last semester. It seems I assign too much reading. (NB: I teach upper division literature courses.) 🤦♂️ <a href="https://mas.to/tags/academicchatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>academicchatter</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>academia</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/professorlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>professorlife</span></a></p>
Tony Pennino<p>I read a reviewer’s report of a colleague’s book proposal shredding it for its framing, style, not engaging w/ 1 minor point more thoroughly- basically for not writing it the way the reviewer would. Which to my mind is a good thing. We want different voices, not the cookie-cutter. Why are we like this? <a href="https://mas.to/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>academia</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/academicchatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>academicchatter</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/academicmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>academicmastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/professorlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>professorlife</span></a></p>
Tony Pennino<p>I just did virtual training for Title IX at my institution, and it’s awful: the training not Title IX. The behavior the software is trying to model is something outside of a normal human response, will most likely cause the student to shut down and not continue the conversation, and, in one case, is borderline dangerous. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/professorlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>professorlife</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>academia</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/academicchatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>academicchatter</span></a></p>
