It’s my 11th semester as department Chair. It is the eleventh time that one faculty member (who is 15 years younger than me and so not senile) asks me which grade to give if a student stopped attending in the middle of the semester and never showed up again.
Eleven semesters in a row I offer my unchanging reply. Which is identical to what the university website specifies.
Another person needs at least 3 reminders every semester to do the state-mandated training.
Another always forgets how to enter final grades.
There’s a total of one person who figures his own shit without acting like I’m his mommy.
There’s no limit on people’s desire to self-infantilize.
