The university where I work shortens Comparative Literature to C LIT.
A couple years ago I had a student in my office say “I need help finding a clit course” before realizing what she’d said. Her eyes went wide and she immediately said “I am SO sorry!”
I assured her it was fine and funny, while I worked so hard to not make an inappropriate joke.

The Impact of Academic Advising on Student Success
Introduction
In the pursuit of higher education, students often encounter various challenges, ranging from academic difficulties to personal struggles. Academic advising stands as a beacon of support, guiding students through their academic journey and empowering them to overcome obstacles along the way.
Navigating Academic Pathways
One of the primary roles of academic advising is to assist students in navigating the complex landscape of academic pathways. From choosing majors to selecting courses, advisors offer invaluable insights and recommendations, helping students make informed decisions aligned with their interests and goals.
Fostering Personal Growth
Beyond academic planning, academic advising fosters holistic personal growth. Advisors serve as mentors, providing guidance on time management, study skills, and stress management techniques. By addressing both academic and non-academic challenges, advisors empower students to develop resilience and thrive in their educational pursuits.
Building Meaningful Relationships
Central to effective Academic advising is the cultivation of meaningful relationships between advisors and students. Through regular interactions and open communication, advisors gain a deeper understanding of students' aspirations, strengths, and challenges, enabling them to provide personalized guidance and support.
Leveraging Executive Functioning Tests
To enhance the effectiveness of academic advising, many institutions incorporate executive functioning test into their advising practices. These assessments evaluate students' cognitive abilities and identify areas for improvement, enabling advisors to tailor their guidance and interventions to meet individual needs effectively.
Promoting Student Success
At its core, the goal of academic advising is to promote student success. By providing comprehensive support, addressing academic and personal needs, and leveraging tools like executive functioning tests, advisors play a crucial role in empowering students to achieve their academic goals and fulfill their potential.
Conclusion
As students navigate the complexities of higher education, the role of academic advising becomes increasingly vital. By providing guidance, fostering personal growth, and leveraging innovative tools like executive functioning tests, advisors contribute significantly to student success, ensuring that every student receives the support they need to thrive academically and beyond.

Hello! I hope you have a great day, and that I'm not bothering you! But, I was wondering, How would Lyman Banner fit into the college AU? And In general, What do you think of him?
Aw, thanks!!! I hope you have a good day too :^) It's never a bother to chatter about my many AUs, hehehehe
Professor Banner is a bit of a weird case in College AU (i guess to be fair he's a weird case in canon too lol); he WAS Jaden's academic advisor for his freshman and sophomore year, and they had a sort of odd friendship; Jaden even got to catsit Pharaoh a couple times (based off my true life experience of my old roommate who once dogsat our art history professor's shelties.) But then like midway into Jaden's junior year Banner fucking DIED unexpectedly, and now the effects of his presence still linger around Jaden like a ghost. Her and ended up leaving Jay a bunch of academic books on alchemy and art that are still sitting somewhere in his bedroom (Yubel likes thumbing through them.) He also got the cat :) (Though Jaden's been a bit dodgy about whether or not he was Ieft Pharaoh in some sort of will along with the books, of if he just stole Pharaoh so he wouldn't get surrendered to the pound. Either way!)
Lyman Banner is like.... for me he's one of those yugioh characters that for whatever reason doesn't quite scratch my brain the way most others do, but I DO think he's got some fun stuff going on with him. Amnael is cool, I like his design elements more in that state, and in general Banner's just such an Absolute Fucking Bonkers Character i have to respect it. Like you get hit the Yugioh Homunculus lore and then you just keep getting kicked in the head with more insane details about him. He talks like a catboy. He really straight up died and his cat ate his ghost and now he haunts a teenager and that's just part of Jaden's life now I guess??!??!?! I wish he didnt Sound Like That in the dub. "Lyman" is one of the most yugioh dub name choices of all time. He needs to lose his teaching license real real bad.
I've never actually drawn him before! So this was a nice chance to take a crack at him since now I'm thinkin about him :^) He has what I like to call "Dartz bangs" which is one of my favorite ygo character design traits, so that's a treat to draw <3
#ygo posting#asks#ty for the ask!! tl;dr banner was around and then he Wasnt but his absence is felt#jaden could really use some academic advising right about now 🥴#jaden yuki#judai yuki#ygo spinoff college au#lyman banner#daitokuji gx#ygoart#dana art#hexmaniac28

im in such a weird situation with uni work at the minute because im working on my dissertation research proposal about trans people and climate justice for a research methods module and i like. i need to know if the lecturer for this module is transphobic or not? she's an older lady and she's said stuff in class along the lines of "well back in my day we didn't have all these different genders" and stuff so im just. on edge and i don't really know what to do about it because i can't exactly email her like hi are you transphobic or just ignorant but not knowing how much i need to defend trans peoples right to exist in this assignment is very stressful lmao
#rowanposting#ive addressed the sports shit and trans kids shit in there too and im rlly worried that thats gonna be the thing that gets her#because its pretty common i think for ppl here to broadly not give a shit about trans people but to have heard abt those issues on the news#the answer might just be 'you gotta wait and see and be alert for issues after submission' but i dont want to miss doing something that#could ease the situation#people who are better at navigating academic structures than me pls advise...#environment#rowan vs university

Vent in the tags....
#dont read if you dont want to know a bit too much about my issues#ok#i dont know how to feel self confidence as an academic#i dont know if it is a female academic thing or just grad school#but i really struggle with knowing if im good enough to do what i want to do#and i dont want to put anything on my advisor#he's very nice and very knowledgeable and well-respected in my field#and ive heard way worse from other people in my cohort about their advising relationship#but....his confidence in me comes in the form of being quietly sure I'll do well#like apparently i wrote one of the best exam answers he's ever seen for my qualifying exams#but he didnt tell me this#the department admin person told me this#my advisor was just like “good job you passed”#or him just saying repeatedly that i WILL get a prestigious fellowship#even long before i knew i did#i dont know what else to ask from this relationship or if it even is a him problem#but i don't know how to build my own confidence#i have no doubts in my project just whether im the person to do it

rumors of my disappearance into the void are probably true and can be substantiated but like sisyphus and his rock, i attempt to roll myself back up this hill and get active on tumblr again
anyways hi, i'm... here
i think.
life is lifin'! work suck(ed) and now i've left the legal field for the foreseeable future to enter academia. wish me luck as i start figuring out if i like teaching, consider the merits of getting a second doctorate, and attempt to survive the inherent disapproval that comes from not doing what my parents wanted me to do with my life
#personal#i think i'm alive anyway#i feel way better in academic advising than i do in legal practice so we'll see what happens#lawyer in theory since i still pay out the nose for that license

making my advisor's job easier and making my schedule by myself
#don't trust your advisor#figure out what *you* need to graduate and make your own little plan#or you'll end up like my friend who was encouraged to take a light course load the first few semesters#and wasn't told she'd have to take an overload later in order to graduate on time#know the academic catalog all by your lonesome so when you meet with your advisor they go#wow you've got it all figured out let me remove that advising hold and let you register all by yourself you beautiful star who cares about#the education they're paying for and does my job for me and makes my life easier and is immune to any poor descions i might make#lily rambles

i need the power to control time...
#mine#i JUST signed the papers for the job i interviewed for last week#and then i checked my other emails and theres one from this other remote call job i applied to#except that one is in academic advising (more enjoyable and relevant to me) AND pays more AND they provide more technology stuff for you#including 2 monitors which i've always wanted.........#but the start date isn't for another 2 months (start date for the one i signed for is in 3 weeks) and i need money and job success NOW#if i could control time i could simply fit both jobs into one day...but unfortunately they are both full time#urgh. whatever. if it's meant to be it will be and if it's not then it won't.......everything will work out... [<- coping]

I just applied for a job at the university I just graduated from and I don't have all of the experience needed according to the description but I feel like it's really similar to my last internship and like I would be good at it. It's not exactly was I was hoping for after graduation but I do think it would be great if I get it. I'm gonna ask some people I know at the uni to see if they know anyone in the department
