| i was talking to my dad about academic integrity and the discussion led to me learning that he published several papers back when he was a phd student. so that got me thinking whether they would be online if the journal still exists. and holy crap my dad's papers are on the internet! first one was dated 1987. man. before you know it it's been 20 years. and all he's got is a slacker son to take his place. for shame. if the apple fell close to the tree then i must have come over and drop kicked it. | | |
| i was browsing through the facebook group for people who attended lord strathcona elementary. i only went there for three years but that school left the deepest impression on me, even more so than high school. i seem to have a goodvisual and audio memory, so i knew i could pick up at least a few people by either the name or the face even after 11 years. i was successful in finding none other than a girl who was caught constantly stealing her classmates' school supplies. where was my pencil or your whiteout? in her backpack. minus the glasses and add some much needed weight, but it's still her. i find it interesting that i still feel the same way toward her even though she's probably a completely different person now. that's a lesson: impressions stick. | | |
| "Do not use your position to further you social life. Students feel that TA's have considerable power over them, and so it is not appropriate to ask them for dates of have other social contact while you are their TA. You can certianly be friendly, but remember that you are in a position of authority and this must be respecrted. If you find that you have fallen madly in love with one of your students (and this feeling is mutual), inform your instructor and the Program Coordinator. We will have the student switched to another tutorial if possible or make sure that someone else is responsible for marking the student's work." LOL. Further my social life. I thought that was the whole point! Am I supposed to consider myself lucky that I haven't fallen madly in love with anybody? I'm sure that would have made my life much worse, having to exercise self restraint from bring any female student flowers during class. I didn't know I was supposed to AVOID talking to students because they must respect my authority  . Heck, I've already talked to a few of them since they're classmates of mine in another course. I guess these codes of conduct would have been more useful if I read them 7 weeks ago. This student asked me for my msn contact after tutorial yesterday. I hadn't read this but my gut feeling told me that wouldn't be appropriate - conflict of interest and all that, or the appearance of such. So she made sure to find me on facebook and remind me that I "rejected" her lol. Add her after the course is over, she says. And you know what? I will do that. Nice enough person, also seems to be good friends with someone who happens to be another TA who I know. I mean a school's only so big... you could end up being your friend's friend's TA easily. But rules are rules, so you gotta respect them. And they do make sense in the long run. Still, it's quite funny. | | |
