At least they were next door! My missing astrophysics class was in a completely different building, which I only realized when the East Asian studies students started showing up for the class that had been swapped into the room.

Yeah, thankful I found them so easily!

That's more than the 5-minute-rule!

rocklabstrasbourg.bsky.social•3 days ago

Or was it the 15-minute-rule? 🤔

volcanologist.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's a 15 minute rule! 🤣

5 minutes isn't enough grace for when you're teaching/taking back to back classes across campus (especially with props!).

I DID THAT!!!

I am very glad I'm not the only one 🫣🤣

Been there, done that - but nothing like as conveniently as next door 🥺

volcanologist.bsky.social•3 days ago

Eep! Thankful I didn't lose them completely

its a lot better than realising that you are in the *right* lecture theatre and that no-one at all has showed up. (tick).

volcanologist.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah, I'm lucky that's not happened to me. Though we have been down to 1, who politely suggested that we didn't go ahead. 👀

Certainly done that with conference calls!!

For me it was they all “planned” to watch it online. So you have to do lecture to an empty room

😬 Luckily we don't live stream only record. So I've never had to do that (and would use a previous recording instead).
