Group Meeting
Jan. 18th, 2005 01:08 pmJust got out of group meeting a few minutes ago. The post-doc was giving a presentation on where he would like to go in his research. What I was struck by most was the fact how incredibly nasty one of the professors in our research group was. Okay, yes, this is graduate school and I consider it part of a professor's job to point out logical fallacies or over looked items. The sneering and nasty comments muttered under his breath were a little much though. I am so glad that man is not my adviser!
In other news I am apparently going to be one of the "lucky" grad students to have to teach two semesters this year. Originally the number of accepted students was planned to allow each student to teach for one semester of the year. I did mine last semester. Then a bunch more students apparently unexpectedly finished their thesis work. So there were not enough grad students to go around. Anyways, my adviser pulled me aside after group meeting to let me know that I would be working for one of her classes. (She only allows her research students to do TA work for her.) While yes I would appreciate the extra money, I was really looking forward to some time to establish my research free from TA duties.
