As a professor, I have the option to schedule certain meetings and tasks; I am also subject to the schedules and availability of others. University and Faculty level committees are usually scheduled far in advance and without consulting every member affected -- so, no control. If a PhD committee needs to meet, the chair needs to coordinate three professor's and the student's schedules - therefore, I have some control, but not unlimited control. My classes are scheduled by others, as are division meetings. So, when I look over my daytimer, I have some discretion over the times not affected by University, Faculty and Division level committees and meetings, centrally scheduled courses, and "found" times for group meetings. In reality, that doesn't leave too many discretionary time slots.GirlProfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07112992541578838517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921173856187068889.post-89225000095800694932009-03-14T21:01:00.000-07:002009-03-14T21:01:00.000-07:00Hey girlprof, sounds like you are busy but "not co...Hey girlprof, sounds like you are busy but "not complaining" -- I believe you should complain.
