Stupid eye. My next opthamologist appointment isn't for another 3 weeks, but recently I've started seeing a lot of floaters in that eye, so I gotta see someone sooner.
'War Stories'
Natter 40: The Nice One
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Taking classes with older professors is making the rating page less fun than I'd hoped. Looks like my favorite profs have retired.
This one cracked me up:
(Name)'s one of those few professors that can honestly gage students. He assigns some ridiculious assignments to challange those interested, while understanding it's not for everyone. However, you read the boring documents (that grad students don't even bother to read) and you're rewarded for it. I also, luckily, got to experience (Name)'s last drinking binge.
Though it makes me want to lecture (Name), if this was a recent student, because (Name) was supposed to lay off the vodka after his stroke a few years back.
I feel weirdly protective of my old profs.
I think it's an Evergreen thing.
Those are hilarious. I found one professor I had as an undergrad, who got good ratings and also HOT.
My favorite professor also got a Hot rating. It's true, in that sort of distracted professor way. Which I understand some people find hot. *ahem*
It's very odd. Looking up people here, I keep thinking "someone thinks he's hot??!!" Whereas when I look at my undergrad school, it's all, "how could they give him a 3.7? He was wonderful!" (And agreeing with one "maybe he was great 30 years ago" comment.)
I'm tempted to look up my Probability & Stats prof, to see if he still tucks his shirts inside his underwear.
At my old school, everyone was so nice! Except to one of my favorite English Professors.
My history professor, who I was just reading about in the alumni newsletter because he was going to be on tv, got the HOT rating.
Looking at the site makes me glad I don't teach (any more). A remarkable number of the comments are accurate and fair, even when not entirely nice. If I were teaching I would feel so naked. I like to imagine that nobody thinks about me ever (no please do not diabuse me of this notion no no laa laa laaaaaa I can't heeear you.)
I looked at his dad and smiled and said, "Imagine if you said to your boss, 'I'm sorry. I'm not going to do any of that work anymore. It's boring.'"
And this is why you're an awesome teacher.
