Dang, would have loved to have been taught by the chem teacher pair, been alright with the Ferris Bueler guy, but the inappropriate dude in the white shirt seems to be more interested in violating the ethical boundaries of the student teacher dynamic than actually teaching anything. Fire that guy. Give the chem teachers a raise.
I had a professor tell us never to contact her, especially through email. So what did she expect us to do if we had questions? Can’t believe the UC schools pay these professors who do nothing.
Actually A students rarely write the review ; average students who exceeded their own expectations write the positive review: poor students who got lower than expected grade write bad reviews: in a class of 40 a semester about leads than 10 write these reviews; the rest? Class room student evaluation is a good guide
I was in the social sciences… typically the more critical and scary your prof appears, the nicer and more insightful they are on your annotated graded assignments. The best grade I ever got in uni was from a prof (now professor emeritus), who had the scariest and most judgmental resting face. The reaaally nice ones are either very generous markers or surprisingly harsh, rarely anything in between. Ohh and the former lawyers are always super chill and nice. Tbh I don’t remember any mean profs during my undergrad. The meanest people were the Master’s program TAs.
3:50 by that reaction I instantly know that this is the kind of teacher to say that he's open to tutor students who are struggling but then proceeds to ignore all emails and replies at most 5 to 7 weeks after the semester is over. Tbh he is indeed a tool and clearly a bad teacher. And judging by how he behaves, it also seems like he doesn't really have responsibilities as a researcher, so what is the purpose of this professor? money vacuum with legs. "clearly didn't do the work" next time reply when asked for guideance? or, here's an idea, don't promise office hours if you don't care to help students! lmao. Like, what am I meant to say? Also for an Anthropologist, he sure does disregard anything based on old age. Further proof that he's probably a bad teacher just because he doesn't really understand the topic he's teaching... I look forward to seeing his ChatGPT'd papers and some kind of scandal coming out of it in a few years. Quite the common habit people like him seem to have picked up in this day and age.
I love how whoever wrote these chat got prompts, clearly wasn’t trying. I’ve used chatgpt on a history essay once, I got 98% for it, simple take notes online on a big google doc, have gpt4 paste in your notes, paste in the marking criteria and the guidelines of what you want it to do, set the word count, and you have your essay, now read through it and change as much you can to not get picked up by ai detectors
I'm a doctoral student who's just started doing essay marking, and I can tell you, EVERYONE in the faculty is on-edge about AI. There's no one method of picking it out, it's basically what the professors in the video said, you go with your gut and look for things like a lack of direct quotations, lack of in-text citations, unnecessary wordiness and nonspecificity - AI text often uses broad descriptive terms rather than the subject-specific jargon (as in the "sophisticated mathematical techniques" example). The whole thing raises real questions about whether research essays, those types of essays where you basically summarise the existing literature, will even be a thing in the future - I foresee a lot more project-based tasks and oral presentations with spontaneous Q&A taking the place of essays in the future. But perhaps even more than plagiarism concerns, there's also a lot of concern about using AI for marking. As a casual tutor most of my salary comes from marking papers, if AI takes that responsibility over then okay, I have more time for research, awesome, but also my claimable hours are suddenly drastically reduced. Yes we'd still have to 'supervise' the AI and do quality assurance, but we'd be getting paid for 2 hours rather than 20. I foresee many more white-knuckled faculty meetings about how to integrate AI into the teaching and learning sphere to come...
I am a retired (40 years) professor and at first found this video amusing. Then I realized why I stopped reading or caring about “anonymous” student evaluations once tenured. Those students who brought grievances, opinions, or suggestions to me personally received priority time. No apologies!
I remember laughing about the design competition that resulted in those monstrosities and briefly trying to see if the library had any records. Good job finding the actual evidence and showing that perhaps the decision was not exactly fair. I had a class that was randomly in Eliot in its last year, and it was a weird experience. Maze-like hallways and less than pleasant rooms.
Anyone else creeped out by how flirty they students were in their reviews and how much the guys lowkey loved it? Like these are girls who are basically kids still even if they are of age. Pretty gross. I wouldn’t want my daughters in their classes.
I found it on the website... Anyway, I was there for Wohl's first year, but don't remember much from it. A couple club meetings, Center Court a handful of times... It wasn't much of a building at that point.
