I've never seen university taking so seriously student's comment, especially this kind of comment, not too relevant to the essence of your teaching, let's be honest and a..lmost getting political about it 🙄. Can't you leave all your videos here and call them let's say 'private', as this social media account is yours not univ's, while uploading them, or part of them as they wish, on the univ's platform? Anyway, I love ALL your videos, and if you are planning to remove them, please let me know, so I could record them for myself, please. I find it cringy what's happening to you, and hope for more academic freedom in your university as well as them toget busy with serious things that really need attention, not such absurdities just to bother amazing lecturers like you and steal your precieus time. Appreciate you, and am always by your side :)
Thanks so much for your support. That really helps knowing I'm not going nuts in the solitude of my DIY UA-cam studio. Cameras are great but don't give you much feedback when you are speaking to them :) Yep, I agree that it's very odd seeing students comments being used like this. I've been teaching in university for 30years and have never experienced anything like this before. Haven't yet told the story of a student that had apparently complained that I was smoking in my teaching videos. It was eventually made clear to me that this was in relation to one of my videos where I am sat in front of a cartoon Parisian Cafe smoking a cartoon pipe (badly computer generated by me) to represent the concept of European philosophers and cultural analysis. The result of the complaint was that I was instructed to remove the video and when I said I wouldn't I was told I had to add a warning on the video that the video contained the depiction of smoking and to inform students that smoking was bad for their health. I add that warning on the LMS site where I linked to the video but also decided to use the image of me smoking the cartoon pipe as the thumbnail for that video when I redid it this year just so that viewers would be aware that I was smoking a cartoon pipe. It's this one: ua-cam.com/video/mJJEMHaVlRI/v-deo.html. The concern, as it was related to me, was that it could encourage my students to take up smoking and that was why I should remove the video or add a disclaimer to it! Strange times!
@@PaulDuckett Interesting, making a fuss about the influence of 'smoking' a cartoon pipe but nothing about the great impact of your greatly crafted videos of amazing lectures. ;)
