This is a blog about life in academia - more specifically, about the silly things we as college professors see and hear from students (and then have to try to deal with it with a straight face, without offending the student and his/her parents!).

Recs
In the second week of classes last semester one of my students asked me to write a recommendation letter for him. Hm.... What was your name again? :)
I had a student e-mail me for a recommendation letter, and when I looked up her info from the class she took with me, I found out she earned a C in my class. Uhm... what exactly am I recommending??
