Teaching goals for 2026?
Are older (mid 20s and up) university students just not a thing here or is it just my university?
When I taught at a night school I had plenty of older students who expressed a wish to go to college. University though I have not seen any.
Anyone ever run a seminar if all Japanese?
Probably getting assigned one for new job.
Has anyone’s uni and/or unions started mulling about how to handle the price hikes on foreign staffs’ residence renewals, or is that too proactive for Japanese workplaces? I tried to get the ball rolling with my union but they seem to want to know what everyone else is doing instead of using their own brains (huzzah conformism).
Oh man… I’m already starting to hate my uni. It’s been smooth sailing until about a month ago. Now I’ve had 2 different arguments with the academic affairs department related to my seminars. I tend to be pretty understanding and passive about things but once it involves students I am going to fight and argue.
I’m starting to understand why turnover is high in my department. It’s such a pain in the ass anytime you have to involve one of the administrative departments. They’re so incompetent and lack any logical thinking.
