Teacher Rejects Sexist Final Assignment, Sparks Controversy

Picture this: you’re a grad student teaching a programming course, and you give your students the freedom to create their own final exam project. One group of all-male students submits a well-made program, but its content is questionable at best. It’s a ‘chance me’ program for guys trying to ‘get laid,’ with self-ratings based on attractiveness, confidence, and other superficial factors. As the teacher, would you accept the assignment or take a stand against sexism? Read on to find out how one teacher handled this delicate situation.

The Grad Student Teacher’s Dilemma

Taking a Stand Against Sexism, But at What Cost?

This grad student teacher found themselves in a tricky situation when an all-male group submitted a sexist final assignment. While the program was technically well-made, the teacher refused to accept it and offered the students a chance to resubmit a different project with a reasonable extension. Despite the teacher’s offer to help them make a quick fix, the students reported the teacher to the Department Head, who sided with the teacher. The students eventually complied, but not without leaving negative reviews for the teacher. Was the teacher’s decision justified, or did they go too far? Let’s see what people have to say about this controversial situation…
