So, I am stuck in an adjunct position when, logically, the position should be full-time. So, in this case, Fuck the union! Otherwise, the benefits and fair-ish wages is a nice part of the union.Mathsquatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214283890697119803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-90581876038640314112010-12-22T22:45:15.425-05:002010-12-22T22:45:15.425-05:00Omigod I snorted cocoa out my nose at that usernam...Omigod I snorted cocoa out my nose at that username, LH.

This semester, it was a student with an average over four exams of 24, and out of 13 homework sets, submitted 5, with an average of 13. The overall grade is a weighted average of 65% of the exam average and 35% of the HW average (this is a pre-calculus course)Lord Humungushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06139122988611858103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-6851350627875258012010-12-22T16:29:16.457-05:002010-12-22T16:29:16.457-05:00Greetings, Mathsquatch!
