I finished my last class today. Now I am beginning the awesome task of grading papers. If you don’t hear from me, send in reinforcements!
Astroprof wrote about some of the things that he heard his students say this week. So I decided to add my own.
Student 1: (Rushing in at 8:30 AM). I need to finish typing my paper.
SS: Then why are you’re here talking to me? Go!!!!
Student 2: Do I have to turn in a Works Cited page?
SS: What do you think?
Student 3: Am I going to pass this course?
SS: Well, you have all you papers with grades on them. What do you think?
It’s only 2:00. Sigh.
PS: For some reason, my template is AFU. Does anyone know WTF is up?
About Me
- Seeking Solace
- I am a college professor who is fumbling through the chaos of academia, rheumatoid arthritis, working on my PhD and just being a 40 something woman. I used to be a lawyer, which made me a snarky little person. I have a wonderful Husband and a German Shepherd named Junior. They help keep me sane.

Lots of templates have been going crazy lately. I think too many of us have been complaining about grading and the internet decided to just shut us down .....
i think blogger is having problems keeping up with all the people using it.
jo(e): They probably feel as stressed as we do! LOL
Bothering Moron: The pressure of technology!
Student: Did I pass the class?
Astroprof: Have you passed any exams?
Student: No.
Astroprof: Have you made a passing score on any laboratory reports?
Student: No.
Astroprof: Have you turned in any homework?
Student: No.
Astroprof: I think that you know the answer.
I was always amused when my students with 46 averages wouldn't understand how they were failing Calc ("Ok - passing is 60. And you see, 46 is LESS THAN 60. And while LESS THAN was not directly in the syllabus, it is a prerequisite to know thyis to be in Calc. ...")
