I-poem
-composed from (anonymous) emails from Faculty sent during Spring 2020
I expect to have loads of time (!)
I am writing to set up what I hope will be the first of regular meetings
I wanted to send your graded exams
I will ask IT
I’m tied up the next two evenings.
I’m reaching my limit.
I’m overcommitted this semester.
I am writing to notify you all that today’s live class has been cancelled
due to the loss of a family member.
Thank you all for your cooperation during this process.
I hope you and yours
are well and healthy
I am writing to follow up on our conversation
regarding my grandfather’s passing.
On behalf of my family,
I would just like to say
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Sorry for the radio silence
I have been keeping track of your emails and exchanges with my peers.
I’m aware this is a long overdue email;
I apologize for the long hold up.
Thank you so much for your patience...
I will try my best
I wanted to
welcome everyone
back to another
unusual semester.
I hope you've taken time
I believe you have grown
I am reading a really fascinating new book.
Sorry that there are
no snow days in this
version of reality!
I would like to go over a few points I made in class today.
I’m aware that some of you have experienced issues -
The exam is now available through google classroom.
I noticed most of your answers were “no” and this does not help me –
Just writing to remind you
I’d like to have the raw data collected.
I thought we could all use the reminder.
I will not compromise
I need to fulfil my professional obligation.
I still have not received
I can't accommodate
I strongly suggest
I have full sympathy
I hope you all are well and are ready
for the spring semester (2 more days, *😩*)
We're counting down to the beginning of
the Spring semester
Hang in there and stay safe!
I am writing to let you know
about a series of workshops... I hope you
have had a restful holiday.
I have realized
I have witnessed hundreds of students
I have a better memory of your voices than your faces
