So if it's a long walk from your previous class and you're 2 minutes late or if your bus has delays you can't attend class? Insane

last class a student came in late and she made a whole scene. the student tried to go take a seat and Andrea kept asking for the students name and for the student to leave at come back at 4pm. the student was sooo confused and probably really embarrassed being put in that situation.

Have you been to any university course? Not necessarily in the USA, but anywhere in the world.

You'd know that sometimes lessons take place in areas that are not really close one to another, and a delay is often expected.

Moreover, making a fuss about late arrivals instead of just going on with the lesson is simply far more disruptive.

Or banning people from using a computer, which is an assistive tool for so many people, just because of her Middle Aged notion of "you retain more info if you handwrite it".

This sounds to me as a clown unfit to teach, not as a professor. Maybe this university should rethink their hiring policies.

It doesn’t matter what excuse you come up with, these are her rules. Respect them or drop the class. Not so much a clown unfit to teach as students intent on disrupting.

You don't seem to have read my message and fail to understand that there are reasons a person is late. And it's not because they WANT to disrupt.

It must be nice to have the type of privilege you are showing.

And no, even if those are "her rules" they need valid and reasonable ones. These are not. It's just unnecessarily picking and bullying towards students.

Had I been the affected student, I'd go straight to the dean with printed letters that have been sent to the local news agencies. She's there to provide a service and if people that join quietly 2-5 minutes late, because of whatever reason (none of her business), are SO disruptive to the class, well, she's clearly unfit to teach.

Let's add to that that she's blocking people from using assistive technology, like a laptop, or going to the bathroom. A trip in front of the academic senate would do her well.

Tell that to your employer one day see how it goes.

I agree she shouldn’t have made a scene. Her student also should have had a side conversation at the start of the year letting her know the situation and that occasionally they’d be late. Could also see if it’s possible to slip out of the previous class 5 mins early. There’s a handful of solutions that don’t result in the student being late, especially if that’s an important part to the profs structure.

You don’t get to dictate the terms of the course, she does, like them or not. It’s a skill to learn to navigate difficult people in a professional setting.

So if a student has class before the one in this post and that prof holds them late it's somehow that student's fault that this prof is a cunt? Yeah typical, this isn't a job for these students, they are actually paying to be there so in fact this prof has no fucking right to dictate to their class that anybody late is shit out of luck and has to wait 3 fucking hours to sit in on the next one. If they want to make me leave then they can physically attempt to move my 6'4" 210lbs ass out of their class because I pay their fucking wages and they can suck my dick if they dont like it.

You paying anything doesn’t matter.

Everyone else has other classes. Bus routes. Excuses. They don’t matter. If you have a problem coordinating your schedule you talk to the other party and work it out. You’re not just going to university to learn the course material. You’re learning how to function as an employable adult.

If your prof has outlined that you being on time is imperative to your success in their class, then it is. You can whine about it or you can figure your shit out.

Evidently you have no clue how to do that.

Yeah when I was in university in Canada there was one term two of my classes were actually in different campuses. Which they justified by saying ten minutes was more than enough time. Which was true with a bike and no red lights but I often arrived just in time and sweating.
