The Monday of all Mondays
Feb. 4th, 2019 09:38 pmIn no particular order a) I have to fix my application to study in Wales (It was worse than I thought, like I somehow sent in a rough draft b) I skipped a major step in getting a new class pushed through (and am frantically trying to get it done by wednesday) c) the nursing crew want to make a major change to my class and have to get it done asap too d) we have a new handholding so the students don't have to act like an adult policy where all professors now have to put in a 4 week grade/attendance as satisfactory or needs development (because calling it unsatisfactory would be too 'harsh' for millenials) and then as an advisor I have to call in all my advisees for a half hour scripted talk to fix this.
Bangs head. Okay understanding they aren't doing well might be helpful but they got this idea from a school that has full time advisors. I don't have time in my day for this. And to have to contact them repeatedly if they don't show up AND keep records of all of this is a huge pain in my ass. If this was all I had to do like the people who suggested it, then fine. Sigh. The only upside is I won't have to hand write it like I've been doing. I can just put it in electronically so that saves me some time.
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do in these talks. I'm not their social worker and a lot of the time it comes down to that.
ETA - tomorrow is the last day to sign up for this round of![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
