The Dartblog discussion of this is better…..

I have to say, I hope this woman is fired. She seems to care less about her students than any of my fellow grad students teaching at my large state institution. I dream of teaching at Dartmouth someday because I CARE about undergrads. Give this woman a pink slip and send her to a school where grad students grade for her and she can concentrate on doing actual research for her lectures.

I’m not sure about Wikipedia not being a reliable source. I TA a rather straight-forward introductory course, and sometimes students have really great interests in subjects beyond the course. Call me stupid, but I often point them to the relevant Wikipedia page and say, enjoy, go from here, and let me know if you want me to recommend any books on the topic.

That said, modernity really isn’t outside the purview of any field in the humanities, and I think most graduate students (much less professors) could explain in good detail the relevance to his or her particular field.

Three, four years ago, Wikipedia wasn’t great. But, now for most general interest humanities topics, it isn’t a bad jumping off point for lower level undergraduates.

I could understand using Wikipedia for some things, but modernity? And you’re teaching at Dartmouth?

This was silly of her to have a facebook page that wasn’t private or friends only. Whoops.

However, for people reading this, especially undergrads, to call for her to be fired is a joke. Seriously, Professors and TA’s are people too. Does anyone look forward to grading a stack of papers with baited breath? Would anyone enjoy co-teaching a course with someone who’s mentally checked-out?

And really, generally undergrads, who would enjoy teaching a class of students of which most you’re sure spent more time planning their binge drinking that night before than on the 15 page paper they just turned it.

Professors and TA’s are people too. Honest mistake by her, but to see some comments from undergrads claiming she should lose her job? What a joke.

I agree with David. Cry all you want about a TA half-assing it in class, but think of how many times you barely make it class, still drunk from the night before and then you just fall asleep. Maybe you should be kicked out of school because there are plenty of people who got rejected from Dartmouth who would love to have that spot and would work hard.

just because i occasionally show up to class drunk doesnt mean that i dont care that my professor is slacking. this professor reflects poorly on dartmouth (although i doubt she is representative) and does a disservice to the students who do care (probably a majority). david is probably one of those grad students who resents the fact that some day he will actually have to teach…

Um, David and Blue Blob: she should be fired because she’s inept. If you are a religion professor and you have to refer to Wikipedia about ‘Modernity’ then you’ve effectively deceived your students – who pay your employers to pay you to provide a “world class education” – about your credentials. And if you can’t explain what Modernity is after attaining the pertinent information, then you are incapable as an instructor.

newsflash: at research institutions most professors don’t give a shit about teaching undergrads and most administrators are perfectly okay with that so long as they keep winning grants and prestige

you’re an idiot d’08, the profile was CLEARLY not fake. as someone who looked at the profile before it was deleted, there is no way someone spent that much time “faking” intimate details about the professor’s personal life, like stuff about her daughters, her colleagues, thanksgiving meals, wall posts from others reminiscing about berkeley, old pictures…etc.

not to mention there would be absolutely no point (entertainment or otherwise) in faking the profile of an associate professor in an obscure area of the religion department.

Dartmouth is a liberal arts college before it is a research institution, which is why this has caused a stir in the Dartmouth community. Dartmouth students expect to receive individualized attention from scholars who also happen to be leaders in their fields, not something resembling WikiUniversity.

No need to pass judgement on her. She admits herself that she feels like a fraud. I don’t think she would be surprised or complain much if she were fired, which should indeed happen if any credulity is to remain to the already dubious statement that Dartmouth puts teaching before research.

Percentage of classes that I took while at Dartmouth that were taught by real professors: 100%.

Percentage that were taught by TAs: 0%.

Percentage of professors easily available outside of class: 100%.

My experience, while not the experience of every Dartmouth student, is hardly atypical — it’s most common.

Hello, I was the one calling on her to be fired, and I am a grad student who myself has piles of papers and exams to grade, not an undergraduate who doesn’t “understand.” I am embarrassed that she is at Dartmouth, and I am also embarrassed that she went to Berkeley. Modernity is something everyone struggles with in the humanities, and especially in the humanities at Berkeley! She must have been a crappy grad student. How in the world has she been at Dartmouth for nine years?!

And Dartmouth will always be a liberal arts college. WAH HOO WAH.

Right, because celebrating Native Americans is racism. When we lost our mascot, we lost sight of our past.

Right, because celebrating Native Americans is racism. When we lost our mascot, we lost sight of our past.

The only past Dartmouth has with Native Americans is mythical. The College’s actual focus was never to educate or Christianize indigenous people. Dartmouth is much more in accord with its supposed original mission today than it ever was.

But that’s not the real point, now, is it? The expression ‘WAH HOO WAH’ has nothing to do with celebrating Native Americans. What could “celebrating Native Americans,” as you say, possibly mean? Do you mean celebrating their culture? Their history? Their religion? Their civilization? Which Native Americans? Since you’re a Dartmouth graduate (or perhaps you’re still in Hanover trying to complete your degree), you should probably know that “celebrating Native Americans” is about as meaningful (and ignorant of historical context) as “celebrating Eurasians” would be. How does ‘WAH HOO WAH’ celebrate anything meaningful? Is that an expression particular to the tribe of Native Americans that once inhabited the area surrounding Hanover, New Hampshire? Or, could it perhaps be a nonsensical series of grunts attributed to “Indians” by rich, racist New England white boys sometime during the turn of the last century? So, which “past” are you celebrating, exactly?

Let’s celebrate a past of racist grunt attribution to an amorphous, stereotypical bloc of Native Americans! yay!

Aha, clarified! Figured I’d help you out.

I’m sorry you’re such an angry liberal. I went to a much happier school. And by the way, don’t insult me by inferring I didn’t graduate on time. I’ll have a PhD before I’m 30.

Would you like a gold star? Perhaps a sticker? I’ll have my Ph.D. before I’m 29. How do you like that? Big deal.

If you’re studying for your Ph.D., I hope to God that it isn’t in a field that requires much critical ability. In seminar, do you accuse your professors of being “angry” when they pose questions? It’s a lot easier to appeal to some kind of vulgar psychologism than it is to respond in any meaningful way to questions that undermine your positions and expose your uncritical ignorance.

So, tell me, how is ‘WAH HOO WAH’ “celebrating” ‘Native Americans’?

What’s fascinating is that you continue to bait me. There’s nothing I could say that could remove the liberal propaganda from your mind. Why bother? I hope your field manages to help you feel joy. You seem to need it.

This is the most ridiculous concatenation of ideology concocted by self-important supposedly “high class” individuals. It really shows America is going to hell when the “smartest people”, going to world’s most distinguished universities (with-in the United States), believe, acknowledge, and concur with the ideas expressed here. Personally I find it repulsive you are not spending your time on a more important matter. Beginning a foreign language might be helpful towards some of your lives, since you are seemingly involved and concerned with the English language, and unfamiliar with the linguistics, or associated elements of other languages. Food for though; perhaps life can be spent on more than just a PhD good for nothing except fame, and acknowledgment you will receive (since your pitiful existence can bring you nothing else, except the acknowledgment of your worth as a textbook by society–or those foolish enough to believe you are deserving of merit)

Excuse me. I didnt realize the “smartest people” in the world were actually idiots! You have a complete…psychopath from Cambridge using all this wonderful high diction, showing off, his/her education. And then you have some other moron thinking he/she is the shit. Let me give it to you both straight,

1.) Ivy league means HIGH CLASS to less fortunate Americans (they are wrong, some of the shittiest [most pompous, arrogant, rude, and crude] people I know go to ivy league schools)

2.) You would think you rich kids would have better things to do with your time than bitch about your life as a cool kid (with each other, even worse!)

3.) Your PhD, or degree proves nothing, your character is far more important, obviously this professor has a PhD and we see how genius she is.

4.) One of you is probably going to say I am just a poor girl from some public university, and I would like to say, I am not and choose not to besmirch the name of my fine university by putting it on this page, because where I am educated has no importance to my worth as a person.

The world needs brilliant, enthusiastic, KIND and CARING minds to bring it into this millennium. I respect those who volunteer, and base their self worth on something more than their educational abilities, because they are the richest in all moral qualities.

She should have known better. The internet is NOT a private place. This, in collaboration with the fact she is, with evidently a somewhat guilty conscience, deriving classroom teaching materials from a website in which ANYONE can add information is absolutely unacceptable.

Furthermore, to say that students present the same or worse amount of disrespect and disgrace to the learning and classroom environment by “going to class half drunk and falling asleep” is NOT A VALID COMPARISON. Students PAY TO GO TO SCHOOL. TEACHERS, on the other hand, ARE PAID!

Hi, I went to Berkeley with Reiko and though this is a bad slip, those who said she should be fired have a lot to learn about life and about how serious Dartmouth or Berkeley are. You are welcome to e-mail me at cattylibrarian@yahoo.com so I can tell you in person to fuck yourself. I’m a librarian who went to Berkeley, USC and UCLA with a degree from each, blew off classes the whole time and graduated twice with honors. I must just be smarter than you hard-working Dartmouth students. Good luck

GOOD FOR YOU! YOU GO TO HARVARD! how DARE you claim that just because you go to a more well-known school that you are in ANY WAY superior to someone who went to a great school like Berkeley. sure, you got in somewhere more selective, but we all know that the admissions process is a total crapshoot with ridiculous biases.

and plus, even if you WERE in any way superior, why would you feel the need to tell someone else that he/she is inferior? really? calling someone from berkeley a “pathetic douche?” YOU are the reason people hate the ivy league. i am SO glad i chose to go to princeton and not harvard simply because i thought there would be more people like you at the latter.

you are an embarrassment.

P12, seriously, chill the fuck out.

To be fair, Joel Rane began the douchiness by implying his alleged superiority to an entire college. @Joel Rane is a douche, but there are plenty of douches at Princeton and Harvard, just like at any other place. By generalizing all of Harvard as arrogant and all of Princeton as egalitarian (esp. considering Harvard’s more generous fin. aid policy), you’re making the same mistake as Joel Rane and @Joel Rane.
