"Treat others as you would like to be treated" is entirely different than "Treat others as they would like to be treated."
I heartily agree with the former; the latter is a hole with no bottom.

"They" don't care how many A's and B's my students get, but if there are any C's it is a "the sky is falling" call to arms disaster for everyone. For context: this is medical/allied health professional school courses, so a "C" is considered unsatisfactory (students must remain above 3.0 GPA),and <C = F and automatic dismissal.Quote from: Parasaurolophus on April 28, 2024, 11:21:31 PMWell, I got the call. I'm giving too many As and failing too few students.
My numbers are very skewed by the one upper-level course I taught this year, where everyone did very well because of a generous concentration of points in low-stakes assessments--definitely too generous for a group who's actually going to regularly do the work.
But even so. Guess I have to be a hardass for the next few semesters.
I'm always waiting on the opposite email: too many D/Fs, and too few passing grades.
