Thanksgiving Twits.
I cannot tell you how many complaints went up Twitter-wide during the Thanksgiving break. Of course it was mostly students bitching about having to do any kind of homework RIGHT AFTER THANKSGIVING, like on Monday, like when school is in session. There were hundreds of these and I re-tweeted a number on the CM Twitter page (@collegemisery) as the weekend wore one.

I kept up with these over the weekend. It's quite astounding. You've got some tame ones here!
ReplyDeleteOn Black Friday morning/early afternoon, I graded part of the research project and posted the grades. There were several Fs. Perhaps I should look on the Twitter?
ReplyDeleteThis might as well be titled "Professors are Bitches." I also "purposely assigned" work over Thanksgiving, if by "purposely assigned," you mean I had it on the syllabus all quarter and they didn't bother to do it until Thanksgiving vacation.
ReplyDeleteThat's Professor Bitch to you my Dear. Anyway, as Thanksgiving is a week later this year, the inevitable happens, classes are ending for the semester therefore stuff is due pretty much immediately after the holiday.
ReplyDeleteAnd as CC has stated above, they knew this was coming!
TWENTY years hard labor at Soviet nuclear waste sites for all the Twits.
ReplyDeleteHmm. I gave you the assignment in the syllabus on August 26. . . .
ReplyDeleteI always expected a ton of projects and papers during Thanksgiving week. I mean it's the week before the end of the semester, after all. And during grad coursework it was seminar-paper-writing marathon. What else were you planning on doing? Silly students, holidays are for the non-academic workers of the world. When you have a dull cubicle job, you can enjoy the holidays all you want.
ReplyDeleteReally doesn't matter - they complain about papers due week before/week after Thanksgiving. W
ReplyDeletehat is desired is a responsibility free semester.
"Is my professor have our exam? Is that aloud?"
ReplyDeleteOh, I do hope it's an English composition exam!
My mother (adjunct at a Rural CC for many years) recently told me that she would make her papers due right before Thanksgiving, And every year, the students would BEG her to move the due date to the class after Thanksgiving. She would tell them that that was silly, they were going to be eating food, not writing papers for the long weekend. And they would beg some more. So she would give in, and extend the deadline to the Monday after Thanksgiving.
