#ProfessorLife
I object to the notion that university faculty are not private citizens when operating outside of #ProfessorLife.

Me: Hey, how was your Halloween?

Student: That really depends.

Me: On what?

Student: What mandated reporters are required to report.

Me: 😳

I'm writing a paper and it seems like I'm not even going to hit the page limit?

One of my mentors insisted that, if you have a truly good idea, it should not take more than three pages to convince a reader of its merits.

I guess part of why I'm not hitting the page limit, is that I have 2 more […]

It's been a looooong week. A couple of normal days, a 22 1/2 day followed by a 10 1/2 hour day, and work events on the weekend. I love what I do, though, and I'm excited for a new semester to begin on Monday! For now, drink coffee and move fast continues! #StarTrekFan #ProfessorLife

Grading Master's students term papers raises the question how difficult is it to define a concept. Terms such as 'genus proximum' and 'differentia specifica' have obviously reincarnated as "x is important and useful". This again does not reveal WHAT x is in the context. #professorlife #academics

#ProfessorLife Student Evaluations from last semester “incredible” “kind & supportive” “knowledgeable & really cared”
And
“Rude & disrespectful”

These evaluations are useless. We once had someone come in to give evals now it’s voluntary online. 7 responses & my job depends on them?
