发帖数: 19 | 1 a professor emailed one of my students (undergraduate class) to ask for a
copy of my course outline but told him not to mention to me. The student
doesn't want to give it to him because he feels uncomfortable being asked
not to let me know.also the professor could get a copy from the dept
secretary.
What does the professor want? trying to pick on me? Do you think I should
talk to him (but he didn't want me to know)? or let the dean know because
the student is worried of retaliation if he takes his class. (the student
actually saved the email in his personal account just in case.) it is not
very professional that the professor is doing it this way.
Some info:
1. the professor is senior, might be retiring. may not like me, i am tenured.
2. my classes are popular. he's not so good a teacher. we don't teach the
same classes.
3. just got a new major approved (undergraduate). i might get more students.
he might be opposed to this program.
a very simple issue. but it is kind of annoying. sorry for the long message.
your advice is very much appreciated. |

发帖数: 19 | 3 thanks.he is not able to teach my course, completely different. i am
wondering if he is checking why my classes are so popular, trying to find
something to destroy me. I feel he doesn't like my teaching philosophy,
making him look bad.

syllabus followed the decryption of the catalog ... No need to worry too
much though. There are always some weirdos. |

发帖数: 3433 | 6 By sending an email to him, you may put that undergraduate student in
trouble. I would just ask the student to give him a brief outline and see
what he is doing (the outline is often put on the website and he can get
from other people anyway).

发帖数: 53 | 7 Why not just let the student send the outline? Maybe the senior faculty is
on some award committee and is gathering third-party material for your
benefit.

发帖数: 19 | 8 the student felt uncomfortable to send it because the professor could get it
from the dept secretary. that's why we both think it is so weird. he's
retiring, not so involved with committees.

开的吧，别让你这学生为难。我就是好奇老教授为什么偏偏挑了这个学生？
