Bingo. They give our masters students (officially) four months to choose, execute, and write their thesis. Nothing of real note comes out of the process.
We can do so much better, but it would reduce profits.
Huge hugs all around because we will do better. The students deserve better and so do the teachers.
Thank you. I do like the teaching and student outcomes more than research. That’s not a route to huge success as a professor if you’re measuring on the money, rank, and fame scale, but it’s who I am and seeing my students succeed is my life affirming activity.
When I get out asap it’ll be to another school where I hope I can find a community who values education, not just a grant size measuring contest. It’s somewhere out there.
Huge hugs all around for those making ends meet with their own two hands!
My so-called university is run by people who have never taught a class in their lives. I’m getting out asap.
My school tried to schedule me teaching 9 hours straight (sorry, with a 45 minute break, so a total of 9:45). Get fucked. Teaching is fraking energy intensive and I literally can’t keep going that long. Their reasoning? It’s hard to schedule the classrooms since we refuse to get enough of them, so we’ll just have the faculty and students have insane schedules. Did I mention it was also going to have university students be in class 9 hours per day? NO ONE can learn like that, but it’s really good at saving money.
I had a model of the Yamamoto way back in the late 80’s. I had no idea the quality of the treasure I possessed.
Even a toga is an option. It’s not “normal” most places, but if you wear reasonably covering clothing and get your work done anyone worth working for won’t really care.
I’m still running the last release of Hannah Montana Linux. Just waiting for something better to come out.
This isn’t the first time something like this happened with Strava and its ilk.
InfoSec is very difficult with unsecured devices collecting local data and sending it to publicly accessible locations.

One to change it and seven to file the paperwork.
When we moved to a developed nation from the US, I started commuting via train. My reading logs for books have gone through the roof. I also get to practice languages and use the time to generally enjoy my day. Driving a car never allowed this kind of living well.
I’m up to about 230 days car-free and it’s wonderful.
Though the CDU/CSU party keeps trying to move right to get some of those A* voters and it’s not working.
Having moved from the US to the EU recently (but having visited for 25+ years). Yes, the food is better in the EU.
The US food is over processed sugar infused sawdust unless you work hard to get specialized and direct from small farms sources.
Here in the EU I walk to any corner store or street vendor and it’s consistently amazing.
When we had flagpoles we had a pile of flags to fly. I’d get most of them on AliExpress for cheap.
Universities, states, cities, vikings, pirates, scifi, pride, peace, extinction rebellion, etc. I love flying something for larks more than anything else. Fly what you feel, it’s your flagpole.
Assembling it with a tiny allen wrench takes a while. Oh, and some parts are literally paper, but somehow still functional.
I’m actually both a student of history and old. I played this as a kid.
Mouse Trap.
Xenophobia isn’t really a sign of rational decision making.
