rhodiumrules asked:
Is it normal for a professor (in college) to be talking online to his students about non-school topics? You go to conferences together (for school) and he comes and drinks in the room with the students is this appropriate? You have seen him drunk several times, he has told you personal stories from his past, you go out to play poker (in a group) every week… is any of that wrong? Does it make a difference if he is married?
I know how this story ends… going back and looking at it from the start. He did this with me but he does it w/ everyone… I just want to know what y’all think.
male teacher, female student (if that makes a difference)… although some of the people in our group were guys too
OK… well if anyone looks at this again… it was undergrad not grad… I am in grad school now and he got me here… there was always that blurry line professionally (in my opinion). The past few years he wasnt my prof anymore and we became like best friends. It was a mentor student relationship and still is to a degree. I have just been telling him to watch it I think he gets too close to his students. In this day and age you have to be carefull. I teach freshman chem lab and our department rules are joke w/ them have fun in class make yourself available to help, but only at school during school hours.
