During my one (1) year trying to adjunct full time, I ran into this dumb attitude from full time profs, nearly all boomers but some Gen x too. Without fail, all were privileged assholes given their positions by friends or family.
I gave everyone extensions for no reason. Who gives a shit. You aren't going to remember this fucking gen ed in two months, just pass this uni-mandated exam and we're all good.
Edit: I can't begin to explain how shitty life is for adjuncts, so why the fuck would I care about their dumbass rules? Everyone is always present, no absences. Cheating? Emailed and said i know you copied this from a blog, the uni will kick you out for this shit. Everyone gets bonus points.
On the plus side, the uni had a business and work seminar talking about how great businesses are, so I spend the beginning of classes talking about their rights as workers
Man, I taught a 5 week summer class one time and this guy emails me after the last day but before final saying what thought it was the next 5 week session; he hadn’t attended a single class.
We agree that if he took the final and passed, he would just pass the entire class. He did better than the class average, i think he got a 76 or something, and I’m sure I kept a pretty good eye on him while taking the thing. He showed up for precisely one day, and went on his way. I didn’t see him again, hopefully his next math class went well, and he didn’t press his luck lol
