Thank ye.

I should make her a sheet at some point

You should

But it's not homework 😉

Hi, Rahne.

I was honest with my professor. This might end up to bite me in the ass, but what the hell. My GPA can take a hit.

Ouch? What did you say?

sigh The assignment was the "Reflection of all Reflections" full of questions about how the course made us feel...and I pulled no punches. It's...kind of lengthy, but I could paste it here if you want.

No need. I think I can guess from some of what you've said before.

Uncomfortable is one word that came up a lot.

anxiety-inducing

Yup.

well, play bitch games... he wants feeeeeeeeeeeeeelings?

And if you suffer retribution wrt grades, that is when you file a damn grievance

Yeah, that's pretty much where I went. "I don't want to say this, I really don't want to say this, but you're requiring that I tell you, so...cue the floodgates!"

Honestly, I think the way you describe it, him asking for feelings sounds a bit like " I've just sucked one year of your life away. I might one day go as high as five, but I really don't know what that would do to you. So, let's just start with what we have. What did this do to you? Tell me. And remember, this is for posterity, so be honest — how do you feel?"

YES.

Oh, hell yes.

There you go, next time you see his hands, count fingers 🙂

sigh I just read the reflection of another student who'd been struggling with the class, and she's being all apologetic about how she'd been a "bad community member"....and I want to SHAKE THE PROFESSOR SO HARD!

Grrrr

yes, THAT is going to encourage learning. Shame!

You've been teaching how long?

"It's not that I don't enjoy the flavor of the Kool-aid, you understand?"

😉 Okay. Maybe that one was unfair of me

20 years now, Cat. I don't know it all, but I know this other girl did nothing that would make her a "bad community member."

And no, Mr. D, that's EXACTLY how I felt.

except not play this dude's game Exactly Right

"If this doesn't work for me, this must be a failing on my part, not This Particular System or This Prof or This Class"
