Fucking hate the drag-and-drop feature for uploading documents into the learning management system.
Drag it over; have file literally hovering over the right area; browser closes (all tabs) and all electronic elements I added are erased - fucking brilliant.
Literally spent TIME trying to demonstrate to these students how they plagiarized and ( Read more... ) -

Apparently picking up some books out of some boxes leads to rather continuous Braxton Hicks contractions - slice into a box, bend over, lift a handful of books out, straighten up, and - BAM! - body's like, "AM I A JOKE TO YOU?"
All I want to do is get the moving boxes out of the "nursery" finally v_v and I haven't had time to do this until, well, ( Read more... ) -

When your dress requirements are these:
- maxi length
- works on a post-partum body (e.g. could wear it home from hospital)

Working for 10 hours, finishing at 4:30 AM, all while 35 weeks pregnant.
The joys of "suddenly teaching adults remotely when all my previous content was designed as face-to-face only."

BING!!! Nooooo :(
Why did you get rid of the exact phrase search re. use of quotation marks???
You just made my job as an educator 1000x more difficult when fighting plagiarism cases.
I guess I'll be using Google only, which is disappointing because in previous years, there was a time when I was able to prove a student's plagiarism through a Bing ( Read more... ) -

I have a student who keeps emailing me and comparing me to another teacher in another class, no doubt based on things shared between this student and a friend.
I know I shouldn't take it personally; I am able to distance myself from these sorts of things quite well, but this time it's starting to take a toll on me because I do feel self-conscious ( Read more... ) -

When you finish work at 4:15 AM because "porting face-to-face content into an online format for students (stupid COVID)" + "checking the online module for your already online class to ensure it is updated and functional" (stupid COVID).
All of this work effort began at 4 PM - unavoidably because I had a gazillion other things to complete earlier in ( Read more... ) -

Noticing a soft "burning" scent in the office. Decide to check computer. Observe, first, no dust on one of the fans (great!), and then observe that the fan is stationary....
Computer core meltdown imminent?

I love being able to create new group activities (or add to group activities) for my classes: the benefit to teaching the same class over multiple semesters and during a reduced course load. There's just more time, overall, to devote to revision, modification, creation, and that's one of the elements of teaching I love because it really engages my ( Read more... )
