thinking about this in money terms, that sort of one-on-one evaluation is on the order of a hundred dollars an hour privately.
block off a week for orals, that's 35 students (because I'd sure as hell need lunch).
somehow, if this is occurring, I don't think they're paid market rate.
@mlobelart.bsky.socialThere's a lot suspect about NY Times op-ed today, "I'm a College Professor. Writing Isn't as Important as We Think," but this is one of most egregious. How could you give *each* student in your class an independent 45-minute oral exam?? How could this possibly scale? www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/o...
