This is really a complicated subject. I started school late; I will finish my undergrad when I am 27, and will start graduate school that year. I figure I'll finish when I'm 33-35. If it takes 5-6 years to land tenure I'll be anywhere from 38 to 41 by then.

Thankfully, women in my family go through menopause in their late 50s but what about the health of the baby? I'm not suggesting organic chemistry labs be turned into a day care but forbidding female scientists to have babies seems to be shoving society one step further to the world of Idiocracy.

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "let sleeping dogs lie?":

Serving in the Navy during a period of active combat, I've been aroused from sleep by enough loud booms for a lifetime. Since being a teacher is about passing on knowledge, I have chosen to share this experience with them by creeping up, while still lecturing and, once near them, jumping into the air and shouting "boom!" as loudly as possible. I've been told this is quite entertaining. And it works, too, because I usually only have one person sleep per semester. So sleeping doesn't get me...reading the school paper in class, that's another story.

Lorraine has left a new comment on your post "Hypocrisy!":

Pretty Hobbesian view of humyn nature, at least during childhood, but you're the parents so I guess it's your prerogative. Is outing yourself to your child(ren) at some point part of the game plan? In my experience, coming to age has too many 'I've been lied to' moments as it is, but perhaps the scholarly mind finds such discoveries informative and rewarding. I was (thank God!) raised secular. First time (age 8) I heard the invocation of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I mis-heard it as Holy Experiment.

I TOTALLY relate to what you are going through, dandelion! I am a post-doc and going through it all over again with a new mentor. It took me several months to realize her particular weaknesses and to understand when exactly to ignore her advice (while pretending to listen) and just keep doing exactly what I was doing before. In some cases, the student is more competent than the advisor, but must play along. Argh.

betty has left a new comment on your post "let sleeping dogs lie?":

I don't concern myself with the occasional nod off, but I did have a chronic sleeper one semester. He went into a damn-near coma every class. And he sat close to the front and snorted and jerked in his sleep, so the rest of the students were also aware of him. One day, about 1/3 of the way through the semester, I handed him a large coffee and then asked whether he took cream of sugar. He took both. I stirred it in for him. He drank it, thanked me afterward, and came with his own coffee thereafter.

I'm a grad student at an R1 which also values teaching, but what many, many of the tenured (and untenured) profs do here is just dump more work on us TAs. Not a good solution! :(

...on the positive side, we grad students do get a ton of teaching experience as a result.

While I'd like to say that my lectures are so riveting that this never happens....yeah, right!

Unless the student is snoring at a distracting volume (this actually has happened a few times, and I just have their neighbor tap them awake. Class giggles. We move on.), I wait until the end of class and speak to the offender privately. I often get very entertaining excuses, ranging from "sorry, I'm hungover" all the way up to "sorry, I was in lockup until 6 am."

2007-10-21T09:10:00.001-07:00

TheHellYouSay! has left a new comment on your post "How much profanity is acceptable?":

Well, about all I can say about how much profanity is acceptable is "However much will float your boat!" So-termed 'rating professors' is pandering. I've lost two adjunct jobs because hallway gossip campaigns and RMP posts were BELIEVED by other students. When enrollment drops, you know who's shown the door.

This "rating" crap has zero to do with anyone's competence nor "classroom efficacy" whatsoever. I didn't make it thru Ivy League on looks; I KNOW my stuff, and expect respect. Period.

This "empowering the client"...er, student... is horseshit.

The strategically incompetent exist on all planes. Notice a state highway crew. One is digging, two are leaning on their shovels, and three are gathered around the pickup talking about the highway job they did in '96. Getting out of work is not rocket science it is gall. It does tend to share characteristics regardless of the plane on which the game is played. First and foremost, is to make friends with the person in charge. Second, is to have a ready handicap i.e. bad back, klutz, inexperienced, fear, or just plain lazy. Third, is to have no shame. Without shame any of your two's can be used to your advantage and the other poor dope is left to cover for you. Four, be kind, courteous, and praising of other's capabilities. That way they will be happy to be duped again. Now that you know most of the skills involved (I wouldn't dare share the higher plane skills) enjoy your new found method of being the office a$$. Oh and believe it or not I read this article as part of a graduate class in education leadership. This is the "active disengaged employee" we are talking about here. Go WSC!!!

Dandelion, I've got to say that you've got it figured out! Congratulations!

It took me years to figure out that balance (investigating the FNM and running the SOACM for production). Probably the worst part of learning that was the realization that my advisor wasn't thinking -- it was pretty much "oooo sparkly!" Sadly, advisors are often clueless (I got myself going "spaaarkly!" just yesterday!), and given their power that's an issue.

Ughhh... I can completely relate to this. But it sounds like you've got a good plan of action for dealing with it (i.e. listening to what she's saying, but not getting *too* invested/caught up).

Sometimes I wonder what's happening in certain advisors' heads. Do they really not remember what they told you one month (sometimes one week) ago? I mean, I understand that we may not be their priority, but still...

Anyway, you're not alone! :)

Why do you care if they sleep? If they aren't snoring or drooling on someone, go on with the rest of the people that are there. Why draw attention to it? You think that somehow embarrassing them is going to meet some goal other than your own self satisfaction that you showed someone up? Perhaps YOU really are putting them to sleep; if talking louder or changing the prosody of your speech wakes them up, perhaps you are a monotone. People in this world are too damn sensitive to rudeness, get over it. Oh and no, I am not a student, I am a college professor and I see a student here or there pass out on occasion. Many of them work full-time jobs and are trying to get an education (no, they aren't entitled to special treatment, but I CAN ignore the occasional dozing off) to better their situation (i.e., getting off of the graveyard shifts that help them to fall asleep). So yes, let sleeping dogs lie and be a human about it; you don't know WHY they are falling asleep, so stop making the classic fundamental attribution error.

I typically ignore it, because I've found that doing otherwise is more disruptive. Depending on the student/frequency/whatever, I may say something to the student later. I do, periodically, say things like "[X behavior] is a bad idea around somebody who is grading y'all" to the rest of the class, which also gets the point across.

David Carlton has left a new comment on your post "let sleeping dogs lie?":

I don't recall its happening back when I taught; then again, there was so much group activity that it would have been hard for it to, most of the time.

Having said that, my first reactions would be to either ignore the student (if they weren't bothering anybody); to wake them up and not say anything other than, say, "you fell asleep"; or (if it really bothered me) to wake them up and say "please don't sleep in my class: it really annoys me when students do that."

What are your goals in that situation? That might suggest some courses of action.

The first time it happens, I'm sort of a bitch about it - I get over to their row and continue lecturing - but I talk louder and louder, until they wake up. If it takes yelling, so be it. By this time, someone next to them usually nudges them. When they wake up, I announce to the class, "...and so that's just about everything you'll need to know for the exam."

Any times after that and I just announce, "this is college, there is no naptime. If you can't stay awake, go home." I have no idea if either of these tactics work, though. I mean, people still fall asleep sometimes.

Yes, I don't have an answer to how to balance either, but I completely relate.

Plus I've been so excited about teaching this new class that somehow I managed to forget I am also teaching another class! How did I forget?

I have to say I think its a little absurd to work an 80 hours week or a 60 hour week or anything beyond that. I can't even imagine what I would do for that many hours (though grading does take a very long time). This is academia, and if we're supposed to be working 80 hour weeks, perhaps we take ourselves too seriously. I don't say this to demean what we do, but rather to say that quality of life is way more important to me than being seen working or having some "when I was your age I worked 'til I passed out" war story. I work very hard. My 40-50 hours of work are productive because I'm good at getting lots done in a given time frame. Tenure matters to me, as does publishing, because I'm exhaustively reminded that they are supposed to matter to me. They also matter because I am ambitious, though perhaps a bit lazy.

I may be the only one, but I went into academia so I could work less than I did in corporate America, where I did the 80 hour work week and spend more time on my writing career. I went into academia so I could travel during the summer. So far, I've been able to do those things and I am thrilled about it. I am simply not going to martyr myself for tenure. I don't think its a good idea for anyone.

Ms.PhD has left a new comment on your post "twenty-four/seven academics":

Yeah, I think you're missing the point. There are places where people work on campus around the clock, because they want to. Then there's a culture that feeds on itself, it becomes more enjoyable to be on campus working with other people who also care a lot about what they're doing and enjoy it.

And there are places where people work when they feel like it, and sometimes work at home because it's not fun to work on campus when you're alone working.

I'm not sure this is a big pool/little pool thing, but I haven't been enough places to really know. I've been at both kinds of places, though, and while I think the 80 hour work week is highly overrated, I think what you mean is that you are wanting to be in a culture where people are there a lot, sharing ideas, discussing excitedly. I too wish that there were more places like this.

I guess my attitude is very "out there", but honestly I think the problem is that there are a lot of people who choose the academic lifestyle because it's flexible and interesting, not because they really want to get a lot done and be immersed in it all the time.

I sometimes wonder if I would feel less burned out if I were somewhere that had a better atmosphere, where people shared ideas and built better mousetraps, instead of all racing along on their little hamster wheels in separate cages, trying to see who's going to win the race to nowhere.

I'm probably going to rock the boat a little here... eek! Ok, I'm a grad student and I work a LOT; I've never thought about how many hours a week, but I don't have much in the way of hobbies or pleasure reading. And I really, really hate it when people don't follow through on what they're supposed to do. However, I guess I don't see why we should be wishing that people would work 80 hours a week. If it's just about pointing out the hypocrisy of people saying they work that much and not actually doing it, then fine, I'm on board. But why should we disparage people for enjoying their lives with scrapbooking or whatnot, if they can find the time? I think people should work hard, definitely, but do we have to want everyone to be in the office 80 hours a week? What's the point, if you'd rather go swimming with your family?

People in my department-- particularly the assistants-- are ALWAYS working. If it's not "publish or perish" it's academic service or community engagement. We DREAM about having the time to be engaged TEACHERS (ostensibly the job we were hired to do).

I can't imagine having the time to scrapbook or take a guilt-free day trip anywhere... even during the summer months. I don't think that I am in the minority in my department. We, the workhorses, number far more than a "handful."
