He would say yes as he needs those customers. I would say no. |
How do you know where your students went to high school? Do you look it up? Do you ask them for this information? |
Extremely weird and creepy |
They never ask this question. This prof is looking it up or having the students reveal this. |
Not the OP, but also a professor. I have access to transcripts and SAT/ACT/AP scores. I don’t actively look at my students records. However, I do see the info because I advise majors and sometimes, if I have a struggling student I look at their transcript and standardized test scores. |
DP and I believe this. I work in grants and see salaries like this at wealthy private schools. |
If you’re so clever at finance, why are you teaching instead of running a hedge fund? |
(Just to clarify, grant budgets are often written to "buy" a proportion of a professor's time as a fraction of annual salary and benefits, so those need to be specified.) |
My kid went to college and suffered the start of a serious mental illness—schizophrenia. There was no prior history of this illness. I was very upset at how the college managed the issue, since child also had rapidly declining executive function and energy levels.
Any thoughts OP on how to better handle mental health? |
Do you think you are biased in evaluating your students based on what you know about their high school education? |
(OP here): the stack of papers to grade suggests otherwise. |
(OP here): We introduce ourselves at the start of the class (smaller seminar). |
(OP here): No access to that information, nor would I want it. |
(OP here): I do not, once you're in, you're in. |
(OP here): Actually, finance prof, 9 years, and then lots of undercompensated years, so it just gets worse and worse from the perspective of your criteria. |
