I still get plenty frustrated when a students don't work, but it does not affect me directly (I'm not dependent on them for grants, data, etc.)<BR/><BR/>Good luckSparkling Squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10899640164757220074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233715669196324514.post-25929755969983479042007-11-15T16:32:00.000-06:002007-11-15T16:32:00.000-06:00put him on probation at work too?or let him know t...put him on probation at work too?<BR/><BR/>or let him know that given his track record he will not be rehired next semester unless he shapes up.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12033794635638388174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233715669196324514.post-35068481153194581442007-11-13T14:27:00.000-06:002007-11-13T14:27:00.000-06:00It's filled with red ink, and I just talked to my ...It's filled with red ink, and I just talked to my boss who is talking to him right now.<BR/><BR/>And how about a wanna be grad student who was accepted on probation, which meant we couldn't give him a GRA, but he still wanted the salary, though he has a poor track record working as an hourly for us. And he hasn't been in the last 2 days and hasn't emailed/called. My boss thinks he won't make it through this semester's classes so the problem will solve itself.<BR/><BR/>I have more respect for those who are tough on students. My boss is too much of a pushover, though he can spew expletives.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15089308323635610000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233715669196324514.post-84736824756058488252007-11-13T13:55:00.000-06:002007-11-13T13:55:00.000-06:00Ugh!!I would just fill his draft with lots of red...Ugh!!I would just fill his draft with lots of red ink as appropriate. I would also talk with your boss about your concerns. <BR/><BR/>I know I get frustrated with my students, but right now I have all freshmen, so at least they don't know better. But a graduate student, he should know better.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07431691836632462677noreply@blogger.com
