A Facebook friend shared this thing that has some serious Troper Tales energy. OCR'd but it was originally an artifacts JPG:drakewalkerhateblog posted:Here it is: how I got Horrible Histories banned from my school. Sit down, I'm going to tell you a story. Imagine a little girl, a 4'9" fifth grader with dimples and twinkling blue eyes. Oh, look, she's going to the school library. Perhaps she's going to rent Little Women, or read On the Banks of Plum Creek by Laura Ingalls Wilder! Five minutes later, she exits the library holding a large stack of books called "Horrible Histories."

Stack Machine posted:Angry Aztecs Everything else about this dumb poo poo aside, I think it's odd to do a report on the Aztec Empire as an ancient civilization. The Empire started in the ~14th century AD. It certainly wasn't contemporary with Ancient Greece. I mean obviously people were living there and doing stuff long before then, and there were other Mesoamerican civilizations, but they aren't generally referred to as Aztec. This person should've made their stdh about the Olmecs or something, smh. Splicer posted:No gently caress you This is the better response, honestly.

I like how she skips over the sophisticated legal system and rich culture and does an entire presentation on how they were bloodthirsty killers, and in the same breath criticizes her school for being bigoted and Eurocentric.

She was also wearing an ~authentic tribal ritual mask~ which is totally okay, despite her being white, because she isn't bigoted or Eurocentric.

"Bumhicksville, Nowhere" must really be a boring place, if a preteen reading books aimed at preteens is worthy of a record scratch and freeze frame.

I have had some university classes where attendance was a thing, for participation marks. Generally small literature classes with seminar set ups. I have never had a university class where the profs cared if you were a few minutes late once in a while. You say "sorry" and find a seat and everyone carries on.

Just remembered when some people in suits came in and started milling around up front during a phonetics lecture and the lecturer asked them what the hell they were doing there and they said "the minister of education is coming here in ten minutes" and he told them to get out and tell the minister to come back in a ½ hour because he'd booked the lecture hall for a full two hours.

I had a couple classes with them, but out of my entirely too many years in college it was the minority of my classes. Edit: not that I'm saying this stdh is a thing that happened. Just that some of the grad students who have ta roles will narc if you're late. Most of them didn't give a gently caress from my experience Len has a new favorite as of 16:22 on May 6, 2020 |

The idea that somebody at university cares about your attendance, let alone if you're late or not is hilarious. I know that's universally true in some places, but loving hell if you have to punish adults for making the decision on whether they want or need to be in class or not then you've definitely gone wrong somewhere. I've had some courses where attendance is tracked, but I just simply don't get it. In the majority it was for the sake of bonus points for perfect or good attendance, but there have been a few examples of mandatory attendance, which is just stupid if you ask me. I'm not learning any better bored out of my mind in class, not paying attention. Even saying sorry for being late feels dumb since that way you definitely disrupt the class, whereas if you just come in and sit your rear end down the lecturer can just keep going. If it's a really small class I might give a nod if I'm late since the lecturer will probably be looking right at me when I arrive, but that's about it.

It depends a lot on the course and how it's taught and assessed. If they're just teaching lecture-style and assessing with essays and exams then yeah attendance should be optional. But any course that's run at least partly through workshops/labs/seminars etc should definitely have attendance recorded

The college I went to had an extremely strict attendance policy to the point where they autofailed you after a certain amount of absences, marked your grade down after a small amount, and insisted it was so vital to that no disability related exemptions were possible. Edit: To be fair, in a studio class or lab this isn't necessarily unreasonable, but this applied universally across all class types.

It was entirely up to the professor at my college. The professors most likely to enforce attendance were some of the worst professors I had; if the lectures were valuable they didn't need to strong-arm the students into attending.

My understanding is that this is often an issue of funding requirements for colleges based on attendance levels and accountability, as well as financial aid often having attendance quotas.

But any course that's run at least partly through workshops/labs/seminars etc should definitely have attendance recorded I don't see any problem in tracking attendance for workshops or labs or similar, because that's a bit different from just a standard lecture. Lectures can be just as easily understood or the contents studied at home, but you can't really replace actual work in a controlled environment. I'm still very happy that on a lot of the courses I've been on, those are also optional and only serve as something you do if you want a good grade or extra points for the exam or whatever because to me that's a better incentive. I don't need to care about grades beyond passing so I can just skip 'em because I'm lazy, while the really motivated learners will benefit from a less overfilled class.

My experience was more 'if you're late just come in as quietly as possible and say nothing so as not to disturb anyone'. The people who made a big deal about apologising were the ones that lecturers hated the most.
