EXACTLY! Computers aren't for work, they're for playing on! Why would anyone imagine any different?
Because when they look over our shoulders they see that we are goofing around in this forum instead of doing actual work. Wait a minute... I'm getting PMs helping me grade essays. I didn't notice this before, but I have two questions. 1) Aren't you entirely the wrong gender sex for PMS? 2) How can that help you grade essays, or is that one of the things I really don't want to know? Okay, fine; I'll go back to grading quizzes. But I use a red pen, not PMS, just for the record. |

Unfortunately, I think conjugate gives good advice.

Background: Students have just left a Sociology class lecture. I can only assume the topic for the day's class discussion was "illegal immigration."
Student 1: Can you believe some people are o.k. with immigration?
Student 2: I know!
Student 1: I mean, if I have to pay sales tax, they should have to too!

There are just so many things wrong here... Does anybody else think these two were talking during class and only heard bits and pieces or that they are just this clueless? |

In the elevator of my building (English) today, from a student who could not possibly be older than a sophomore:
"I already know what I want to write my dissertation on!"
Ah, student. Ah, humanity.

Student 1: How did the midterm in Core Class 301 go? Student 2: OK, I guess. I got a B. Student 1: Wow. Student 2: Yeah, I guess it's OK. I mean the professor said 50% of the students failed the midterm and another 25% got Cs and Ds. So I did better than most. But, I can't believe that many students failed the midterm. Everything came straight from the lecture notes and readings. What did you get? Student 1: I failed. Student 2: Oh! <<and walks away>> |

A pair of sophomore students are waiting outside my office for advising appointments, discussing a Gen Ed class that they are both taking this semester, when one exclaims:
"Why do you care about your grade? I just care about graduating so that my mom stops hassling me about going to school. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here!"
*sigh*
I think that I can expect to see this student on my Academic Suspension list sometime in the foreseeable future.

"Yeah, I don't like pastrami. It's too salty. I like meat that's not salty."
And (different class):
Bob: Are you wearing crocs?
Tom: Yeah, aren't they cool?
Bob: No. I don't wear crocs. Men shouldn't wear crocs.
Tom: But look! They have fur inside.
Bob: I don't wear crocs, man.
Tom: I love my crocs.
Bob: I don't wear crocs.
And now that the great footwear debate has been hashed out...

A bunch of students hanging out in the hallway, waiting for class to start.
Student 1: You know, it feels like we just had a test.
Student 2: We did. Last week.

Your professors were probably afraid of your galactic genius and did everything they could (behind the scenes) to thwart your hedginess. Hedgie loves to read. |

TA: Da** it! Why does the professor give so much HW? He doesn't grade it. Now I have to spend Thanksgiving weekend grading it.
Secretary who collected said HW: But, didn't you say you didn't have any classes this week?
TA: Yeah, but I didn't want to spend my time grading.

Student 1: Last semester I had a class that used clickers. It didn't even really matter if you got it right, as long as you were there. That was so easy.
Student 2: I think this class is harder because he actually cares about what he is teaching.

Background: I was just getting on the elevator to head to my 1pm class. There were maybe 8 students and myself.
Student #1: "That lecture sucked."
Student #2: "I didn't understand anything she said. I was texting the whole time."
These students were behind me, but I think some of the other students saw my facial expression as I reacted. :)
