Today in the first ten minutes of class she asked who was planning on skipping class on friday for the big game, and who was planning on skipping for the big music festival, and after establishing that 1/3 of the class was planning on not coming next time, she then said that because today was a really hard topic she brought candy! Now she's asking questions with one word answers and chucking skittles into the upper rows.
These are freshmen.
I'm really sorry guys.
I bet her evaluations make her glow in the dark.
ReplyDeleteIt's not the evals that make her glow, it's the academic toxicity she exudes.
DeleteMaybe from past experience she knew the inevitable.
ReplyDeleteinevitability is why class is cancelled the day before thanksgiving, this was just asking them to not come to class.
DeleteHow big is this class? Because if it's anything close to the size that I TA for, that is a lot of skittles.
ReplyDeleteAlso: what an asshole.
not that big... it's a special program so we've got 70 instead of the usual 120
DeleteThat's still a shitload of skittles! Costco shopping, anyone?
DeleteWe have an awkward holiday break coming up, and Dr. Hubs and I both decided to just axe our two days of class from the get-go rather than play will-we-or-won't-we-cancel as the break approaches. So we're making up my course hours on other days (our schedules let us do that fairly simply) and going on a va-k of our own...
ReplyDeleteBut Skittles?! A step too far. I hope you don't have to deal with prodding these ones through a discussion section if they're getting treats for inanities in the big lecture hall.
