Probably a good thing I'm leaving town

I'm leaving for a short break to visit family and do the meetings thing.

Probably a good thing, one of my research students wound up earning a C (the research work was good but the paper they wrote was awful) and they are someone who is not shy about making hurt/displeasure felt. Even though I can totally justify the grade based on the comments I wrote on their paper (They left out major chunks, misapplied statistics, and didn't really address one of the questions).

The other one earned an I, because of all the craziness that happened about data being withheld/DUIs/other issues.

It's going to be a while before I voluntarily do research with undergrads again.
