I love the compassionate intervention that allows @Rooki@lemmy.world the opportunity to learn and correct his behaviors and models that level of compassion. Thank you very much! 😊

Tertiary education: university professor.

LPT: Talk to your professor and ask questions!!

I have so many students that don’t perform well because they didn’t understand some material. I’m seriously getting paid to help you understand it, but I can’t present it in a way that works perfectly for every student since they all have their own learning styles. I also wont know if they aren’t getting it of no one speaks out.

I want:

• to help
• everyone to learn the material
• to talk about science because I’m a super nerd
• what is and isn’t working for you in class
• students to show up to office hours

I don’t:

• expect anyone to already know something they haven’t learned about
• care if you ask me a million questions
• want you to perform poorly
• want you do go to the field unprepared
• like it when students treat me like they are bothering me
• grade papers that are ridiculously wrong because students didn’t try to ask me for help

The vast majority of university professors are obsessed with what they teach, so much so, that they made a career out of talking about it. Asking then about it would make their day. If you go up to one that seems like they’re being bothered, then that’s the exception. Don’t let that one stop you from engaging with all of the others.

Note: This is true for almost all courses. However, there are some courses in certain universities that are considered “weed out classes”. These classes, typically taken in the first 2 years, are informally designed to have lower performing students fail before they advance too far into the major and find out later that they don’t have what it takes to be successful in the field. The professors of those classes are more commonly not helpful at all. Don’t give me shit about it because I didn’t design this system nor do I teach those classes.

I was born and raised in the US. My parents spoke Spanish only. They maybe knew 5 words in English. I grew up learning Spanish fluently at home. Everything else (i.e. school, tv, friends) was in English, so I learned that naturally.

Downside: I feel like it created 2 personalities. I feel emotions, relate to family and romance, and cook in Spanish. I think logically, conduct business, and have friends in English.

I’m almost certain that every state not only requires at least an accredited master’s degree, but also a state board license that involves at least 2 years of clinical supervision. However, the supervision is based on the honor system of other licensed therapists, so there isn’t much oversight of the quality. Clinical supervisors usually charge for supervision, so there is a conflict of interest.

Aging is a good sign tho. The only people that don’t age are dead.

Step 2: Don’t stop stop doing it

I think it’s actually Iosif. His name is spelled as Иосиф in Cyrillic.

и = i

o = o

c = s

ф = f

why would anyone care what his followers call it?

@FemboyNB@lemmy.blahaj.zone fyi, when you run Linux off of a USB drive (aka live USB), it’s likely going to run a lot slower than when installed on an SSD. Just take that into account when you’re testing it if you go that route. I wouldn’t want you to think Linux is slow as frozen molasses and forgo the full experience because of a misunderstanding.

Hi!! 👋☺️

this guy uses Arch, btw

I mean, you guys made it into a literal lottery.

Exactly! Those people were drafted and sent to fight an unpopular war in a country that most of them didn’t even know existed until then. The rich were able to dodge it by paying off the right people and others had to leave as political refugees. I think that a lot of Americans learned to fear mandatory government service due that policy.

Effectively it’s slave labour for the poor and pay so you don’t need to do it for the rich.

The story of human society continues as normal.

Oh wow, soooo interesting! For me, it’s the government forcibly taking control of a year of your life. I’m not saying that my perspective is correct. It’s just that that’s how I see it. I voluntarily served 4 years in the American military, so I’m not opposed to government service. I guess maybe my American mistrust of government is what’s making me apprehensive of the policy. It’s like I fear that the federal government will misuse it while also taking a major formative year of its citizens’ lives. Moreover, even if the government tries its best to make ethical decisions, I don’t think government is capable of making those decisions. It’s too bloated and compromised by the selfish goals of politicians and elites. Thinking it through for this comment, I would be more comfortable with the government providing incentives for 18 year olds to contribute public service by providing extra benefits such as college tuition, home loan guaranty, preferential hiring for government jobs, so it might be the mandatory part that is the main factor driving my concern. Btw,…woahhh, I’m having a moment since I never expected to be so American with my politics because I generally swing quite left, even for those outside of the USA.

What’s the perspective you guys have on it? How do you see it? Is it something like, “This is a good policy because citizens should contribute to their country and government is an appropriate avenue to decide how to do so and enforce this?” I would love to hear how you guys generally see it because this seems like an interesting clash of cultures. I look forward to your response 😀

wtfffff. even for my American butt, that sounds crazy. a government forcing its citizens to conduct a year of national service strikes me like some medieval or fascist level stuff.

prolly 🤷‍♂️ i got it done about 10 yrs ago when i wasnt aware of all that.

According to commercial genetics testing, I’m more Neanderthal than 90% of other people that used the same major company. My ancestors were into some kinky 👉👌

I love that you didn’t realize the community you were in

It looks like you are trying to point something out. I can help with that. 📎

I was soooo happy to finish with high school. Maybe it’s because I knew that I was about to leave home and become independent, but I hated the grind of high school. Going to school everyday for 8 hours then having homework seems unhelpful and even counterintuitive.

The military was worse in regards to the amount of work and grind, but I learned lots of valuable skills and actually made practical contributions rather than what I saw was busy work with no real product. It also made me value proper education since I saw the benefits of being able to contribute to a team using my capacities and training.

Once I got to college, I was able to focus on the subjects that I naturally enjoyed. The class schedule in college was also less consuming and I had some control over it since I was able to select which classes to register for.

There were some things I did miss from high school. One, we were all innocent and had few legitimate concerns when it came to surviving. I didn’t have to worry about getting fired or paying rent. My concerns were adolescent social issues mostly. Two, all my peers were from the same area and we grew up there, so we understood each other in a way that I never found elsewhere. Three, we were all put together, so it was like a community where you were forced to interact with all sorts of capacities but were treated as equals. This also happened in the military, but after that, my social opportunities were limited to my exposure to others based on my career and income. There has been much less diversity and more inequality based on power and financial situations.
