[tips] ANOVA and LGBT

[michael sylvester]

With Bruce Jenner in  mind.ANOVA may have to make some adjustmes to accommodate
LGBT subjects. Currently the gender variable N2  male/female but with LGBT 
subjects coming into the subject pool we may be lookimg not at a 2x2 design but 
a 3x2 design.Of course ANOVA
measures simple,main,and interaction effects.Those analyses would be very 
interestingWith LGBT a subset of the gender paradigm,when does the he or the 
she kicks in.

Re: [tips] Student excuses

[Paul C Bernhardt]

I have a similar policy to Beth’s, but it’s really about cell phone control.

They are allowed up to 3 absences for TTh classes and 4 absences for MWF 
classes, I do not distinguish between excused and unexcused. Obviously, 
exceptional circumstances occur and are allowed. A student was called up for 
National Guard duty (Baltimore Protests) and missed some classes. I will not be 
penalizing him for the ’National Guard Absences'.

After the allowed absences, their ‘attendance and professional behavior’ grade 
begins to drop proportionally. It is worth about 10% of their grade. Other 
things that count as simple absences: Emails that are grammatically 
incomprehensible or lack the course number in the subject line, telephone 
messages that do not provide sufficient context for me to interpret the issue, 
phone calls in which the student forgets to tell me their name and what class 
they are in.

How this ties into cell phones. If I see a student’s cell phone they are 
counted as absent that day. I just mark it on the roll and it is tallied in a 
special column on our LMS grade book. I don’t call them out, I just note it on 
my roll and tally it. All cell phone absences count against attendance and 
professional behavior grade, there is no 3 freebie allowance.

I see between zero and 3 cell phones while lecturing in each class each 
semester. Modal number is probably 1. At the start of the semester there is no 
‘cell phone absence column’. When a student gets caught, the column appears and 
the whole class knows that at least one student has been docked points for 
their cell phone being seen.

Because, I care about the distraction of cell phones, but I don’t actually care 
much about absences (hence not distinguishing excused from unexcused). After 
all, they are grown ups and part of life is making prioritizing judgements in a 
variety of situations. The price I pay for caring about cell phones is that I 
have to act like I care about absences.

The following list2 is organized in accordance with the student excuse category 
system established in 1986 by Martin Schwartz in his groundbreaking article 
entitled "An experimental investigation of bad karma and its relationship to 
the grades of college students" (Journal of Polymorphous Perversity, 3, 9-12. 
This is a real reference, folks; grade-point average was inversely related to 
frequency of excuses). Here we go:

Grandparental Death. This old favorite needs no description, but one 
professor's class established what must be a world's record when 14 out of 250 
students reported their grandmothers dead just before the final exam.

Friend/Relative Accident/Illness. "I missed the exam because of my uncle's 
funeral, and I can't take the make-up test tomorrow because I just found out my 
aunt has a brain tumor." "I can't take the test on Friday because my mother is 
having a vasectomy."

Automobile Problems. "I'm late for the test because I hit a toilet in the 
middle of the road." "I had an accident, the police impounded my car, and my 
paper is in the glove compartment."

Animal Trauma. "I can't be at the exam because my cat is having kittens and I'm 
her coach." "I don't have my paper done because my guide dog has a bladder 
infection and I've been taking her to the vet." "My paper is late because my 
sister's dog had to have her puppies delivered by Caeserian section." "I 
couldn't be at the exam because I had to attend the funeral of my girlfriend's 
dog." "My paper is late because my parrot crapped into my computer."

Crime Victimization. "I need to take the final early because the husband of the 
woman I am seeing is threatening to kill me." "I can't take the test because 
some guys upstairs chinned themselves on the sprinkler pipes, which broke and 
soaked my apartment. And cross-list this one with automobile problems: "I 
missed the exam because someone stole all my tires."

Other. "I want to reschedule the final because my grandmother is a nun." "I'm 
too happy to give my presentation tomorrow." (The contributor noted: "This was 
easily fixed.") "I can't finish my paper because I just found out my girlfriend 
is a nymphomaniac." "I'm too depressed to take the exam; I just found my 
girlfriend in bed with another man." Note slipped under lab door before an 
experiment: "I am unable to come to lab because I don't have time." "I can't 
take the exam on Monday because my mom is getting married on Sunday and I'll be 
too drunk to drive back to school." Finally, there is the excuse given by two 
students who, after sitting next to each other during an exam, were asked why 
their answer sheets contained identical responses to different forms of the 
test: "We studied together."

[tips] Student excuses

[Robin Musselman]

Talking to a colleague today about student excuses and I mentioned that dead 
grandmothers have been replaced by.?

I'm fairly certain the substitute was mentioned on this list, but I just can't 
remember. Anyone who can help me?

RE: [tips] So, What's On Your Summer Reading List?

[Tim Shearon]

I’ve had it sitting on the ottoman in my office for about a week now!- Cajal’s 
Beautiful Butterflies of the Soul- DeFelipe/Oxford. The Sacks is on my list as 
well.  Also, Rhythms of the Brain by Buzasaki/Oxford is on the list. That and 
some or the other book which promises me I’ll play much better chess. They are 
working a bit better at improving my chess than my gullibility at thinking the 
next one is “the one” that will do it. ☺

At the top of my reading list is the memoir, On the Move, by Oliver Sacks. I 
have some textbooks to read as well, and I plan on putting together a new 
course and some readings for existing courses. After that, I may take a break 
to simultaneously garden and think of weird and potentially offensive TIPS 
questions.

I'm glad that you mentioned this because I was looking it over
on Amazon (I've never found Sack's stuff interesting, perhaps
because I felt the Robin Williams portrayal of him in "Awakenings"
off-putting) and I thought that I should try to fit it in, especially
since it may be one of his last books.  I also learned on Amazon
something that I did not know about Sacks:

He's a bodybuilder and into motorcycles.

The picture of him on the cover of "On the Move" supports 
this view but everything I've ever seen with him (e.g., interviews,

clips from science shows -- including one where he wears a
baseball cap with the letters "NYBG" which stands for the
New York Botanical Garden up in the Bronx, this was at a
time I was member there) would not lead me to think of him
as a body builder.  I had my suspicions that he was gay but
never thought it important enough to confirm; the Amazon
material for "On the Move" mentions this.  Which kind of
explains his weird relationship with the nurse in "Awakenings".


I have some textbooks to read as well, and I plan on putting
together a new course and some readings for existing courses.

I don't know.  Seems to me that you'll have to make a special
project of weird/offensive questions to TiPS if you want to compete
with our man in Daytona. ;-)

Anybody reading anything or are they just binge watching all

academic year? Or, horror of horrors, just going out to a
quiet place in the country, far from the madding crowd, and
living a life based on simple daily activities, trying to be in the
moment?

Or thinking up weird questions to ask on Tips? ;-)
