Things We Can Do to Improve...

In December of 2010, a Chronicle reader - responding to an article there - asked us about posts on our site that aimed at improving the lot of poor proffies in the academy.

While we're sort of fond of all the posts here at RYS (like they're our children, or our database of absinthe recipes), we provide this quickie list of 20 you might enjoy:
  • On Contingent Faculty Working Conditions
  • On Grading
  • On Evaluations & A New Method
  • On the Adjunct Job Crisis
  • On Dealing with Problem Students
  • On Losing the Us vs. Them
  • On Learning from Student Evaluations
  • On Campus Wide Assessment
  • On Asking More From Our Students
  • On Remember Being an Undergrad
  • On Your Shifting Ambition Part 1
  • On Your Shifting Ambition Part 2
  • On Having Career Perspective
  • On Toughening Up
  • On When It's Time to Move
  • On When It's Time to Quit
  • On Dealing with "Boys"
  • On Gender Politics
  • On Race
  • On the Interview "Con"

In the Beginning...

...there was Rate Your Students. Begun in 2005, the original profane and irreverent academic water cooler bubbled mightily until 2010, the last three years under the moderation of Compound Calico. In the middle of 2010 Cal passed the mantel to Fab Sun, who started College Misery, which is putting the heat on the academy and celebrating the misery we all face.
