Thanks for having me

Jeri, a business professor, received high praise from one of her students in an upper-level courses: "This class was fun. And thanks for having me n the class, ur a good teacher." She noted to herself:  "I failed along the line somewhere."

Bedbound break-in

Maryann teaches a college-level online course and received this just before the term ended. None of the grammar was corrected. Must be very frightening to be bed-bound during a home invasion but at least only the computer was taken!

"Goodmorning Dr., i want to notify you as to what is goin on wit me. Someone broke into my home, stole my computer, printer, folder, and study material. I have not been to work. I am on bed rest, however, i attempt to enter class this morning and could not get in."

But I turned in a paper

Susan teaches a Management Information Systems class - an upper-level business course that introduces students on computing and network systems used in business. She assigned a case study and received one paper that included the student's name and information in the upper left corner and the assignment name "Case Study" neatly centered at the top.

But that's all. The student's response: "I turned in a paper."

Professors goof too

I have no one but myself to blame for this one.

So I'm lecturing in a PR class today using the publisher's slides when the next slide reads, "Keep the pubic interest in mind at all times."

Why staying in school is always a good idea

From Maryann, a business professor:

Why staying in school is always a good idea... excerpt from a student assignment: "My fellow classmate decided it would be a uneek for us to work over facebook. Wow i thought Man he is Smart of Course we all Agrred."

Mom calling

From Cathy, a business professor: The phone rang, I answered, and the voice on the other end of the line said, "Hi, I'm so-and-so's mother, she's a student of yours, and she had a question . . . (now talking to the student who is in the room with her) what was your question hon?" Turns out the student is in her 20s and is married but her mother is still making phone calls for her?!
