Anyway, this was from an article “Things You’ll Recognize if You’ve Been Teaching More Than 10 Years.” From 2018. So that takes us all the way back to... 2008? In 2009 a “young Dr. Andy” received his Ph.D. Before that he had been an “Assistant Professor of Business and Information Systems” at the college where he still teaches today (between Purdue and Indiana I picked up an MBA at Butler) and he cannot remember using ANY of the items shown in his classrooms.
Apart from the VCR and floppy disks, most of this stuff looks like it’s from the 1950’s or before. Why do they always get this stuff wrong? It’s just like those “
Born Before 1985” ads or saying that “Millennials” are 18-24. Jesus H. Christ!
Of course this is what a real “computer science” class was like “back in the day.” From IBM. No I don’t think I would have liked to teach back then.
This is more like it... Must be my grandad.
Present day. She’s saying: “So have you fucked Dr. Andy yet (giggle)?” “No. He’s married, you slut!”
True story: When I began my career they asked me to teach a summer class exclusively for “Adult” learners. It met for three hours, on a Monday night, for five weeks. I got paid $5,000 USD. Not too bad for part time... But as my students quickly discovered: “
He lives in Zionsville!”
All my courses are “online” now because of Coronavirus. Hard to believe it’s been almost a year. I really miss seeing my students “face to face.” Especially this one.
