On The Disclaimer Train

Dorcasina takes my disclaimer and modifies it to “fantasize about the kind of disclaimer I could give my students on the first day of a class. I would ask them to read it carefully, then quiz them on the material on day two. Those who choose to stay in class must earn a B or better on the quiz and sign a waiver indicating that they are now fully aware participants in MY pedagogical universe (which I would, of course, call “Our” pedagogical universe).”

It’s hilarious. Read it.

  1. Heh. I couldn’t really relate to your disclaimer – never received hate mail, and certainly not of the bizarre illiterate variety that you’ve gotten – but when it’s written from the point of view of a college instructor, yup, I feel that. I just posted today about one of the evaluations a students of mine gave me. I quote, with spelling liberties preserved: “In my opinion, she is acedemicly unqualafied.”
