from my student a few minutes ago (last day of 2-week 3-credit hour course)

This is what she wrote on the attached card:

Quote :

"I have never ever seen and dealth with a prof like u. U have a unique personality and character. I'm lucky to be one of ur students. I wish all the best for u and ur family."

The other students said similar stuff to me when exiting the class ("you are the best professor", "I wish you could teach us again|, etc).

Made my day

You should tell your students about TWW

What kind of student writes a letter to a professor and replaces "you" with "u"??

I feel like "texting/AIM" language is going to replace regular language in 10 years.

Oh, and....is she hot??

1/13/2010 1:56:23 PM

Dealth

I typed out the message verbatim. She wrote the 'u's. The 'dealth' is my mistake.

""2-week 3-credit hour course" wtf?"

10 classes over 2 weeks, 4 hours every time (in the evening from 7 pm to 11 pm). Very tiring for me, as it meant being out of the house from 10 am to midnight, with just a couple of hours at home in the middle. Made me sick as well... got the flu last night. Anyway, today was the last day, I can go home and sleep... it is the weekend for me, biatches! But, tons of marking to do, and I am very sick .

It is a course in the MBA program: "Quantitative Business Analysis" (statistics, forecasting, decision analysis, linear programming).

Quote :

"What kind of student writes a letter to a professor and replaces "you" with "u"??"

Well, it is just a tiny card attached to the rose, not a proper letter. And English is her second language, and it is a quantitative course.

Quote :

"Oh, and....is she hot??"

Yes, very. For the first 3 days, she had her face covered, with the eyes and forehead showing only (but even her eyes were gorgeous). Then, as she felt more comfortable, she didn't cover her face anymore. (read below)

One day at the beginning of the course she was late to class, and told me it was because she was having problems with her husband. I didn't ask what problems, as it wasn't appropriate, and this is when her face was partially covered. Two days later, when we were having a break in the middle of the class, she came to me, uncovered her face(!) and started asking about something in the course (the other students had left for the cafe). After she finished, I asked her if she had sorted out her problems with her husband. She said she ditched him, and that it was her fiance, not husband! I asked why, and she explained: He wanted her to cover her face all the time (and even more so than she was already covering), and he was against her having a course which is non-segregated by gender (our program is one of the 2 or 3 exceptions in the whole country). I expressed my happiness... I told her any man who would stop her from having an education due to mixed-gender courses (and force her to cover herself fully) was not worthy of her, and that she should find someone who respects her and treats her like an equal, and supports her in her endeavours.

"Did you hit it?"

I am not like that, even if I was single, and even if she wasn't my student. I was thinking about asking her to marry me... but one wife is [trouble] enough!

Sadly, it will.

Gotta drive back now, in mad traffic.

Good night!

hence, her grade. not yours.

Where is this?

I don't want to take away from the compliments you got as a teacher, but in some cultures, gifts/flattery are customary at the close of a course...tradition/bribe.

Not here. Although, I have been offered a bribe once in the past by a failing student. He sent someone else to ask me if I would take some money to pass him. I told the messenger to tell the student that my price was around $130,000 so I could buy some luxury/sports car, and I would pass him. Didn't hear back from him .

All you do is come onto TWW and insult people left and right. Does it make you feel better about your condition?

Who the fuck are you? What a terrible decision on part of the university... they put a person who actually knows how to bestow knowledge in a position which requires bestowing knowledge to others!!! I guess they should have gone with one of the several professors with PhDs that the students taking that course have been vehemently complaining about for the past 3 semesters.

Well, it will stay worthless in that case!

Quote :

"Did you teach them all about real magic?"

No, because it was a math course, and also because I don't know how to do [real] magic. [if it exists]

Congrats on being a great teacher, but it's going to end up with a TWW version of:

Haha, no!

1) I am married and am faithful.
2) Even if something did happen, the situation is very different from the great pic above (she is much older than half my age).

1/14/2010 4:37:08 PM

Well, how does it feel to know that the bachelor picked you to advance to the next round?
