Tertiary education: university professor.

LPT: Talk to your professor and ask questions!!

I have so many students that don’t perform well because they didn’t understand some material. I’m seriously getting paid to help you understand it, but I can’t present it in a way that works perfectly for every student since they all have their own learning styles. I also wont know if they aren’t getting it of no one speaks out.

I want:

• to help
• everyone to learn the material
• to talk about science because I’m a super nerd
• what is and isn’t working for you in class
• students to show up to office hours

I don’t:

• expect anyone to already know something they haven’t learned about
• care if you ask me a million questions
• want you to perform poorly
• want you do go to the field unprepared
• like it when students treat me like they are bothering me
• grade papers that are ridiculously wrong because students didn’t try to ask me for help

The vast majority of university professors are obsessed with what they teach, so much so, that they made a career out of talking about it. Asking then about it would make their day. If you go up to one that seems like they’re being bothered, then that’s the exception. Don’t let that one stop you from engaging with all of the others.

Note: This is true for almost all courses. However, there are some courses in certain universities that are considered “weed out classes”. These classes, typically taken in the first 2 years, are informally designed to have lower performing students fail before they advance too far into the major and find out later that they don’t have what it takes to be successful in the field. The professors of those classes are more commonly not helpful at all. Don’t give me shit about it because I didn’t design this system nor do I teach those classes.

are you 4chan the hacker?

install lolcat and make bash commands so that update and upgrade come out in rainbow.

Maybe talk to your doctor about bupropion (wellbutrin/zyban). It’s a unique antidepressant medication that work by inhibiting reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine (other reuptake inhibitors focus mostly on serotonin or norepinephrine). When testing it, they found that many people stopped smoking, so it’s now prescribed for people that want to stop using nicotine. You likey wouldn’t be on it for long, just a few months until you get the cravings to stop and readjust your life to no nicotine.

I have the opposite problem. I don’t eat enough. On several occasions, I have gone upto 3 days without eating. Closer friends are often worried about my nutrition. It’s gotten so bad, that my last 3 girlfriends have made it a topic in the relationship, while I have friends that let me come over for dinner literally any day I want. They then makes sure I eat enough.

To me, eating can be such a chore. It’s like eating is something I have to do just like showering. I can find it rewarding on some occasions, but unlike showering when I feel brand new afterwards, once I eat, I get dumb, slow, bloated, and feel heavy. If I haven’t eaten throughout the day, I feel light, energetic, focused, and free.

Anyway, I find it interesting to be on the other end of unhealthy eating continuum. What about eating makes it hard to stop?

I was soooo happy to finish with high school. Maybe it’s because I knew that I was about to leave home and become independent, but I hated the grind of high school. Going to school everyday for 8 hours then having homework seems unhelpful and even counterintuitive.

The military was worse in regards to the amount of work and grind, but I learned lots of valuable skills and actually made practical contributions rather than what I saw was busy work with no real product. It also made me value proper education since I saw the benefits of being able to contribute to a team using my capacities and training.

Once I got to college, I was able to focus on the subjects that I naturally enjoyed. The class schedule in college was also less consuming and I had some control over it since I was able to select which classes to register for.

There were some things I did miss from high school. One, we were all innocent and had few legitimate concerns when it came to surviving. I didn’t have to worry about getting fired or paying rent. My concerns were adolescent social issues mostly. Two, all my peers were from the same area and we grew up there, so we understood each other in a way that I never found elsewhere. Three, we were all put together, so it was like a community where you were forced to interact with all sorts of capacities but were treated as equals. This also happened in the military, but after that, my social opportunities were limited to my exposure to others based on my career and income. There has been much less diversity and more inequality based on power and financial situations.

I’m happy for you :)

How did you come to like that? When was the first time you tried it?

milkshake and broccoli (or any veggie)

this one actually disgusted me

I recently started watching Narcos about a week ago, and this is the first time I realize that the guy in this meme is the portrayal of Pablo Escobar 😮😋

American here. What’s a toonie?

neato burrito!

the insect population has dropped significantly in the last 25 years.

Why has that happened?

what happened to the bugs?

I wrote it myself. What’s wrong with it??

It came in waves, but I usually get hit with a lower mood right after eating. That rest and digest hits me hard. I get stupid, lazy, a little confused and disoriented.

Yeah, that’s been my guess so far. My reward system hit max power.

• Cop arrests someone and places him in handcuffs in the back of the cop’s SUV.

• Cop hears an acorn fall on the SUV and thinks the arrested person that he placed in handcuffs and supposedly searched is shooting at him.

• Cop falls to the floor and fires and entire magazine at his SUV while yelling that he’s been hit.

• Luckily, despite being about 15 yards away from the SUV and unloading an entire magazine at the arrested person, he did not hit the arrested person in the SUV.

• Cop then insists he’s been hit until the doctors at the hospital tell him he is fine and has not been hit with a bullet.

You can’t make this shit up.

Hi Ren by Ren
