Some tasks that are required of an English Professor are so mundane....Take the semester syllabus for example . As a new professor, I must create one for every semester that I teach (summer included...made all the harder with longer classes but fewer weeks to work all the material in) and tweak it until I have some years under my belt and a basic formula for success.
I wouldn't be complaining if it were easy to do...UNFORTUNATELY IT TAKES ME HOURS to finesse the syllabus....I constantly move things around and cut and paste to no avail!
Basically, I loathe making syllabi and can't wait to be done with yet another one.
I guess once I'm tenured this will be a funny memory to look back at like my days of searching for this very job... RELIVE those funny yet horrific stories HERE, HERE, and HERE.
