@JamesTCarter3 Had my group chat jumpin’ 😂😂😂

[Jericka Battle @JerickaBattle]

@gd_higginbotham Okay 👀 so i need to know if we’re talking about the same thing.

“I could totally box a squirrel.”

“A medium to large chinchilla”

“Snake; it doesn’t have fists (plus I don’t like them; they can catch a fade anytime”

“Sloth, but I wouldn’t want to fight them in the first place.”

For bonus points I asked my students what animal they could beat in a fist fight on their final.

Here are their answers:

“…a fish because it doesn’t have hands so that would be an easy dub.”

“Gorilla bc I’m BIG & BAD!!”

“Any. I’m built like Dwayne Johnson…”

Anyone have any suggestions for cleaning AMP data from qualtrics? Things are getting real complicated real fast

Any corporation that tweets something about Juneteenth has to prove that that don’t use or benefit from slave labor.

I don’t make the rules.

🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

Wait yes I do, release the proof.

Y’all today I completely abandoned my planned lesson, turned on ‘lo-fi hip hop beats to study to’, and just let my class work on their project assignment that’s due tonight.

I just sat at a table and let them come up or use the chat to ask questions as needed, it was glorious.

This is just giving me flashbacks to every slightly unprofessional/inconsiderate email I’ve ever sent & every private dressing-down I’ve gotten because of it.

Mixed vibes on whether they were helpful cause they definitely stressed me and hurt my pride but I never did it again so

[Jericka Battle @JerickaBattle]

Okay so I try not to gatekeep through professionalism or respectability.

Sometimes students email me and their emails are what I would consider unprofessional but I try to be generous and understanding that not everyone has access to this script of social norms.

[Jericka Battle @JerickaBattle]

Yeahhhhhh I’m gonna have to sit awhile before I respond to this one.

@nichynich7 I would love to! I didn’t get much “constructive” feedback but I’d love to think about how I can make changes as I go!

[Jericka Battle @JerickaBattle]

Okay, just got my first round of student evaluations and they are particularly brutal.

Is it teaching online, receiving bad grades, my teaching skills, or a combination of the three that have made me deserve these character assassinations?!

[Jericka Battle @JerickaBattle]

-don’t read them at 8am.

-review them with someone you feel comfortable with.

-and lastly, remember to frame feedback within social contexts. I’m a black woman first year instructor teaching stats online in a global pandemic. Honestly, surviving was a miracle.

- the one who suggests you should be the next APA president and the one that encourages you to seek other employment in a different field can be thought of as outliers. Glean observations by looking in between.
