The Perils of Bovine Texting
January 20th, 2011Two students taking Media 386, a journalism ethics course, last semester had their final grades reduced by one grade because of repeated violations of class guidelines about text messaging. Both were whining that they were treated unfairly. They were not identified but one actually did a whine-whine on the WORD’s facebook page: She was responding to my description of the other student because she believed I was discussing her “case. When I informed her that I wasn’t, she refused to believe me. In a sense, she outed herself in a public forum!
The other notified me that she was appealing her grade (which is not a bad strategy in a department with the most sordid grading scams at Hunter). But never mind that. Below is a metaphysical rejoinder to them about the perils of texting inappropriately.

It Was One of Those Semesters
January 17th, 2011The November 10, 2010 D:F/M Faculty Meeting Was Hot
In the thick of the inferno of that November 10 meeting, the Hunter College PSC Chapter Chair, rising to a moment during tepid discourse,* announces to her Colleagues, QMfE, “I can’t take this anymore”* and reaches into her ban and aims her teenie-weenie digital pipsqueak at the Colleague whose comments may have overpowered her ability to respond collegially.
