I don't ******* blame him. She's hot as **** first of all and secondly when you're blackmailing somebody (which is basically what this is no matter how you look at it) you don't just ******* take on good faith that they're going to continue to do what they said in the event that you no longer have leverage. People will say anything to get out from under your thumb but if you let them go for empty words don't be surprised if that's all you get.
I got forced into a Communications class as part of my course. Maintained for the entire year that it was the most insulting class I'd ever taken. Aced every assignment, and my teacher used me as an example for one of the assessments across all her classes bc I have public speaking training.
In my school, even the engineering students had to take intro to communication class. The theory was that employers were complaining that new hires didn't know how to properly communicate in a business fashion. The classes were things like proper formatting for emails in business, how to give business presentations, basic speaking skills, what constitutes harassment, even business dress code.
Of course, it's all ******** . I work in IT. We dress casual and don't even give a **** .
In my business communications class the teacher had to stress that 'we' shouldn't dress any more formally than a business casual dress shirt because she got a bunch of complaints against her by post graduates that got feedback from potential employers that came off as 'to stuck up' or 'not very relaxed feeling' or my personal favorite 'because they just looked plain goofy'. our class was/is in computer animation.
This got a bit confusing later on because she still taught the class exactly the same just whenever she would come to mention the 'dress formally' she'd quickly tac on 'not you guys though'. End of the class we had to do a group presentation thing and we were required to dress casually instead of formally due to this circumstance. One guy ****** up and wore a suit. He actually got a 10% marked off his grade for that assignment because of it.
That sounds like the worst ******* advice you could ever be given.
If you're going to an interview, wear a suit. If you look good, and wear it with confidence, no-ones going to tell you you're overdressed.
I went to an interview recently and wore a slim fitting Navy suit, with matching brown shoes and belt, and a matching tie and pocket square. Everyone at the company was dressed in business casual, but no one batted an eyelid cause I made that **** look good.
I saw another candidate wearing a baggy, polyester, grey pinstripe suit with some ****** black shoes. That's where you have a problem.
were you going for an art position being interviewed by artists with tattoos down the length of their arms wearing casual street clothes? An art position where you're going to be working so close to both these guys and other artists that by the end of the year you'll either practically be family or you won't be working out?
Business formal really isn't the language of comfort and when it comes to people deciding who they want to work in close quarters with for an extended period of time being a comfortable person to be around is just as - if not more important - than seeming like a professional person to be around.
Don't get me wrong, there are some aspects of professionalism that are very important to artists, being able to meet deadlines, keeping good quality in your work, not making excuses, not trash talking co-workers, communicating freely and openly. Those are important as **** . keeping your shirt tucked in and addressing everyone formally? Not so much. What I'm saying here is when it comes down to it you should dress about step step of formality above the position you're applying for. Yes, there is such a thing as being over dressed for an interview, and yes it is a well known factor.
oh ha you're a ******* drone I see good luck with that lower middle class lifestyle for the rest of your existence, I hope you don't commit suicide before 40 at least
lol just because I'm not some washed up art college bum. I write code, I love my job, I'm ******* good at it, and I'm on track to be earning 100k over the next few years. Have fun living with your parents until you're 40 you broke ass ****** .
And I most likely will commit suicide by before I'm 40, but I'll have you know it has nothing to do with my job!
I was talking about how you're likely to run into depression because you've demonstrated an extremely narrow perspective of viable life styles and career paths, not because you're job selection. I was saying you're a drone because the straight and narrow path you've so blindly committed to is designed and built by a profit orientated college system with the intention of turning you into a lower middle class drone/money cow.
If you're actually already making 100,000 dollars a year with this path then that's pretty impressive, you're a top quality drone. If you've been promised or just hope/believe you're going to be making 100,000 dollars at the end of your education then you should take that with a grain of salt.
Bro I fully understand how the system works. And you're right, 90% of degrees aren't worth **** and are mostly there to tax the **** out of some low income earning shmuck for the rest of his life. I only play this game because I play it very well.
Honestly I'm only ******* with you. Art is the only thing in this world worth a damn. But I've been poor most my life, and **** that.
Actually, you dumb **** , the words used were:
"'to stuck up' or 'not very relaxed feeling' or my personal favorite 'because they just looked plain goofy'"
Nowhere does it say 'dressed too formally" If you're in a smart suit but relaxed and charming you're fine. These guys were probably sat there stiff as a plank in some ill fitting black suit
Am 1st year Civil Engineering student at Brussels University.
Can confirm this goddamn ******** . We legit had an exam on how to give a presentation.
We had morning lectures on communication and how to make proper reports.
Some things were pretty interesting, especially when the professor broke out the graphs for things like "Audience attention in function of the duration of the presentation" but otherwise, everyone knew it was ******** and we just went along with it anyway.

There were like a billion seasons and only 3 bitches die in the whole series. And one of them was my pride.
Funny that, literally the only episode of that show I've seen had a bitch off herself with her husband's gun. Seemed pretty melodramatic to me. Guess I had good timing, eh?
> Hot teacher
> She sends you nudes
> She gives you a free A
He literally did nothing and got nudes of his hot teacher (10/10 **** for most guys) AND a free A.
A communications teacher, THAT attractive, manages to text a student nude pictures by mistake, then offers up an A on his final for it, then responds to the one more thing with 'Anything...' like a cheap porno, and they type in a similar style (Unnecessary ellipses, for one example.)
Even an average 4chan greentext is more believable than that.
I'm not sure how much schooling you've done but communications is a very easy class that no one cares about yet everyone is recommended to take if not forced to take, usually taught by a really old woman/man or a very young woman/man. It's like the retirement home/experience center of classes for teachers. Because it's not a core class, it is not difficult for the teacher to get away with giving a student an A like that. This student wouldn't even need it, to be honest, considering his other classes and grades.
Because the modern world is very technologically advanced. Almost everyone has a cellphone and would agree that it's the easiest form of communication. I'm not sure if you've ever been to college or a university but I'm in my 3rd year of Uni and there are some professors (and almost all teacher assistants) have a cellphone available for texts.
No, it's only improper to call/text a teacher's cell number with something that's not school related and really the same logic applies to emails. It is optional for the teacher, of course. Teachers who have large classes or simply don't care to have students text them or just prefer emails don't bother to do this.
I see what you mean. I guess it just seems strange to me since I've never contacted one of my teachers via cell phone but I suppose it would make sense in some situations
the understanding is that the students would be careful with what they text their teachers or what time they call them and that the teachers don't mind getting a couple butt dials or accidental "hey what's up" texts
Gotta back this guy up. Used to be a Comms major back when I thought people could give TED Talks for a living or there was more paid speakers than Tony Robbins and 3-5 other human beings on Earth.
Every one of my Comms teachers, bar none, gave their personal cell #s on their syllabus's. Same went for my Exercise Science teachers when that was my major, and my Criminal Justice majors that I gotta take because of my Sociology major (the Army is rolling that into a Social Psychology position after my graduate work, so don't get too uppity here). Most of them asked for you to just send a quick text when you were gonna miss class or be late, and often were very friendly and open about their relationships with students. With the Exercise Science teachers, they'd sometimes literally go out drinking with the kids and even get in fights, and have a fanbase of soaking wet chicks in their classes just to oggle them.
This whole scenario isn't far fetched at all. The guy probably could've asked for a blowie too, but if he turned this into a regular gig it would've eventually fell apart. He took his chances and did the right thing. Then he shared it with us. He's a pretty cool guy. Eh kills aliens and doesn't afraid of anything.
Look you people... I'm in a pretty well-known, respected university. I am finished my BS via online courses. And one of my online professors for a culture course I will not say the name off, she gave out her personal cell phone number to ALL her students. She was very outgoing, very personal, and wanted to be 100% accessible to all her students. She was very young, I would say 29~, and had a lot of pride for our college's football and stuff.
Nothing happened with my professor, but I could EASILY see a professor like her accidentally sending someone nude selfies by mistake. And this professor I had... she was SO easy going. You could talk your way into an A if you wanted. I'm sure if she accidentally sent someone nudes she would probably kiss their ass to not reveal it (and then some).
Say your boyfriend's name is Eric and you have a student Eric, not looking at past history text you just snap a quick nude and boom, you sent it to the wrong Eric. It would be so easy to **** something like that up.
I just still don't get this 'I'll give you an A' thing. How can your professor change your grade? Does he/she go and give you marks for questions that you got wrong on tests?
At my university at least, there is basically no oversight on grading. You don't even have to use the course management system, which is not linked to the final grade reporting by default anyways. You only need enough evidence to back yourself in case a student complains about their grades.
Well that's the way college works. A professor can literally give you an "A" in the class without doing jack **** . They have the say and power to pass you in their course. It can be used for good (say you are an actual genuis and you just blow off your assignments because it's too easy, the professor can still pass you). On the other hand it is used for bad. College is somewhat broken, I really don't believe in the system because if you know someone/know people/have money you can easily manipulate your way into easy and free grades.
In t he case of the post, if the teacher gave this kid an A without taking the final, if anyone questioned him (classmates), he could just say "I took it a different day cause I was ill" or something. No one would probably even notice. The dean doesn't know. Everything's hush and quiet.
Guys face when he sees teacher in halls for the remainder of his college career
Literally the only way for professors to influence your grade here is by giving you higher marks in subjective type marking (e.g. on essays) or by very obviously marking incorrect things as right.
nah this is definitely not the worst possible outcome for that teacher.
she could've sent nudes to someone who's an easily offended SJW, loves to tattletale to her boss, or just hates the hell out of her and is smart enough to take advantage of her then play the victim, resulting in loss of career, divorce, and/or time in jail.
Nat 1 or 20 isn't best or worst necessarily. you can still roll min damage on a crit. Also she could still easily lose her job if he had his marks audited.
