I think i have a better grasp on the subject that is being taught, than one of my professors.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

its kinda depressing.

he doesnt get the theory, the reason we need to study it and its uses.

moreover he doesnt even know the laws surrounding legal/illegal questions.



that is all

[Parche]

1. Can You Make A Coconut Radio?

:rofl: :hi:

[geardaddy]

12. How about

a coconut Nintendo system?

Oh, and we need some monkey butlers.

[eppur_se_muova]

37. AND bring her own coconuts. nt

[redqueen]

2. That really is awful.

*sigh*

[La Lioness Priyanka]

4. i know. he claims all these questions are illegal when they arent

[Dr. Strange]

9. What?

What questions are illegal?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

11. many questions are illegal to ask in a work interview. however the ones he said are illegal

are not.

[Dr. Strange]

14. Ah. I thought he was saying some questions were illegal in the classroom.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

17. no, i am taking organizational psych at a masters level.

so we study these thigns

[NewJeffCT]

19. can you give an example or two?

I remember I was asked once in an interview(by a woman) "What turns you on?"

I only wish I was quick-thinking enough to say something like, "Women in positions of power" or something like that. But, I was probably too shy at the time to say that, anyhow.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

22. you cant ask if a person is single or married. you cant ask women for their plans to have kids

you cant ask any questions to minorities/women that you wouldnt have asked a white male.

you cant ask about religion.

you cant ask about country of origin or citizenship, you can only ask if its legal for them to work in the USA. question has to be uniformly asked to everyone.

ex: you cannot ask a woman if she is willing to travel if you dont ask the men that question.

[FalconsRule]

23. For some jobs you can ask if the person is a US citizen.

If they aren't, they may not be able to get the security clearances in a timely manner, or at all in some instances.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

24. well for all federal laws there is a BFOQ clause. if you can show bonafide

occupational qualification you can ask the question

[FalconsRule]

26. Exactly

It's not all cut and dried. Is that where the problem lies?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

27. nope. the problem was in reverse. he insisted somethings were illegal which arent

not to mention the entire class is kind of a joke

[FalconsRule]

28. Got yah! N/T

[NewJeffCT]

31. Just about every application I get

has are you authorized to work in the US for your current employer, or for any employer?

and, also the question is will I need sponsorship in the future.

But, i guess the "What turns you on?" question was okay, just probably not the best choice of words.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

32. asking about authorization is fine. just not citizenship unless BFOQ

[NewJeffCT]

33. so, if you ever interview me

you can ask me what turns me on?

[KitchenWitch]

3. I guess there is truly incompetence everywhere!

That sucks.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

5. its grad school. i expect to learn something. if this was undergrad i would be excited about the

easy A

[KitchenWitch]

6. I hear you.

Especially at grad school tuition rates.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

8. yup

[lightningandsnow]

7. Oh my god... it's like my high school.

My Introduction to Anthropology, Psychology and Sociology teacher is so ignorant that it just hurts my brain. Arrrrgh.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. that sucks. all my sympathies

[Pacifist Patriot]

13. *sigh* I've had that happen before. Not a good situation!

Can you talk to a department head or dean?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. someone already did. this is why he isnt saying we are all going to get A's

which he was doing at first

[hunter]

16. I hate it when that happens.

But it took me too long to learn how to keep my mouth shut.

Nothing good comes of sitting in the front row, rolling your eyes and muttering "oh..my..god.." just loud enough for the professor to hear.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. funny. thats exactly what i did do

[Beausoir]

34. So true. Happened to me. Did not work out well.

[wain]

20. Have you discussed this with the professor?

Test your hypothesis.

[Reverend_Smitty]

21. I'm in grad school now...

so all the people in my classes have some different professional backgrounds to bring into the class. If we are discussing a topic that the professor may not know a ton about or one of the students deal with the issue on a daily basis, the profs (at least the one's I've had so far) know enough to defer to the student with the expertise. I hate it when they pretend to know all, it makes them look like a pompous douche.

I take classes in education, sports management and health related fields so maybe it's different in my neck of the woods because things are constantly changing in these fields so we grunts out in the trenches may actually know better sometimes.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

25. he argued with me for a while insisting something was the law.

it isnt.

[xchrom]

29. ...

:hug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

30. thanks honey

[Tyler Durden]

35. Dis be mah Sur-Prized look.

Why are you shocked?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

36. i dont know. i feel like a lot of my profs have been far more knowledgealbe than me

this one however really gets under my skin
