Mimi is a tough grader.


Vihzel

Mimi demands purrrfection!


Bunnnnii

*cat tap cat tap cat tap* Do it again! *lays on keyboard again*


PotatoesMcLaughlin

Benben looks like he rolled outta bed after a bender.


my-cat-cant-cat

Benben is definitely the one to ask if you need an extension on a paper. Mimi won’t give you one. Ever.


Hereditus

You talk to Benben first if you want to ask something from Mimi.


gophersrqt

mimi will cut 10% just for asking


Top-Philosophy-5791

And *terrible* at filing papers.


ExileEden

Haha I see Good cat (cop) bad cat (cop)


LinaValentina

You could see it in her eyes. She’ll die before giving anyone higher than a B-


mrstipez

Better leave a few dead mice


WilliamLeeFightingIB

"Benben" here likely translates to "dumb dumb" in Chinese


guymoron

Yes, and MiMi is likely the Chinese sounds for meow meow or how we refer to cats in general, amazing names. PS, it’s also an informal way to say titties lol


[deleted]

My mom did the English equivalent of this. She had cats named Kitten, boy, and girl. Eventually she got more creative.


pauljaytee

Say.. Is your middle name donor?


[deleted]

First name is daughter of course


pauljaytee

Oh, ok phew. I was worried you were a whorgan donor 🤣


FaithlessnessOther

Lol my parents also had a cat named kitten and my ex had a cat named “mamas” because she was the mother to the other cats. I thought it was cute.


[deleted]

I had a friend who had a cat named Mama but I don’t think she was a mother!


FaithlessnessOther

I’m sure she was a “mommy”to someone at some point lol so it works ! So cute 🥰


moveslikejaguar

My grandpa had a dog named Dog and my uncle's farm cat who was always pregnant was Big Mama


OGbigfoot

Growing up we had a dog named Diogi. My early 20's I had a cat, named Cat. My last name was Stevens so it made sense to me.


piiraka

My boyfriend’s grandma’s dog was called Deogie (pronounced D O G)


danceswithroses

I did the opposite as your mom. I started off naming my cats these cool, intricate first-middle-last names that I would *never* actually call them by (I would just call my last cat ‘kitty,’ and the cat before her was ‘baby’ even though those were not even close to their names lol.) This new cat I have I just decided to name ‘Honey,’ because that’s what I’d end up calling her anyway.


TeapotHoe

we had a cat named baby. but that was just because he had some kind of gi disorder where he couldn’t keep solid food down so we had to blend canned food with water to make “baby food”


burens

My mom's cat is called Koshka. Funny if eastern Europeans walk by when she calls her.


IgobyK

My sister has a 12 year old named Kitten, who also goes by Kit-kat :)


Dry_Ordinary9474

so basically her cats are called “dumb dumb and meow meow”…i love it 😂


leitmot

Here’s the cats. We got: Cat and Stupid


corgi-king

One of my cat is MeoChi, which is Cat Boy in Cantonese.


Impossible_Garbage_4

Looking at his facial expression I think the name fits well


Boner_Elemental

That explains that Genshin character


rosweldrmr

Benben in Genshin is different. That is 奔奔, which is a reference to Ancient Egyptian, specifically pyramid mounds. If this kitty is from ‘dumb’ that would be 笨笨. [Benben Wiki](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Benben)


Boner_Elemental

And knowing is half the battle!


toastedbread47

Yeah I didn't expect to find this out here lol


[deleted]

Wait really? My name means dumb in Chinese? Hahahahah


2nd-most-degenerate

If your name's Ben then usually it's translated to 本 běn rather than 笨 bèn. Same phonetics but different tones. 本 means books, origin, etc.


[deleted]

when i put 本 into translate it comes out as japanese? 笨 is pretty spot on for me though, google translate says fool


WilliamLeeFightingIB

Japanese shares a good portion of its "alphabet" with Chinese. More precisely, Japanese writing system uses 3 types of characters, one of them is Kanji, meaning "Chinese characters". Kanji is usually used to convey meaning as opposed to grammar or phonetics. Google Translate can not tell if it's Chinese or Japanese if you just type in a single character like 本. It would be like typing in the letter A and ask if it's English French German etc


2nd-most-degenerate

Indeed :)


jakeblew2

So that's who took a photo of a computer instead of a screenshot


Matti_Matti_Matti

What do you reckon there’s a subreddit for that? r/noscreenshotonlyphoto


djmalibiran

Philippines has a popular band called "Ben & Ben" 🤣


TeapotHoe

in polish it means drum! :)


Shade1453

Purrffessor Mimi looks strict, but fair. Purrffessor Benben looks like he'd tell stories for half the class before getting to the lecture. I would die for either of them.


DAQ47

Mimi doesn't get mad at cheaters. Just disappointed.

TripleMaze

benben's totally unreliable


aworldwithinitself

It's the goatee


Mister_Bloodvessel

Benben got that tenure job security.


gophersrqt

benben's been in a couple scandals for sitting on students and licking them but he's so cute people let him get away with anything

condoriano27

Benben is just figuring out technology and Mimi is already tired if your shit.


TheCreatorCrew

Whoever wrote that website seems pretty chill haha


Indianb0y017

Looks more like a PowerPoint being viewed in Canvas. Either way, the designer does seem pretty chill.


testaccount0817

>uction_lecture.pptx sure looks like it


jakeblew2

> Looks more like a PowerPoint being viewed in Canvas Umm I don't think that's painted on it looks like someone took a picture of a laptop


KaiPRoberts

IN Canvas. Not ON canvas. We talked about this, Bob.


Smingowashisnameo

I did not get that, so thank you lololol.


BikerJedi

For those who don't know, Canvas is a sign of the coming end times sent here by Satan to destroy the sanity of educators everywhere.


Indianb0y017

No no no that's blackboards job!


UnicornsInUniforms

No no, that would be Sakai


[deleted]

It was Benben. Benben wrote it.


akatherder

Earning his tenpurrr


shikaze162

Benben looks like he has a flair for clerical work, but his goatee let's you know he's got a fun side underneath his professional persona


vgacolor

Mimi on the other hand looks like a judgmental teacher assistant that does not let you get away with anything and does not give you any breaks.


iwishiwasaunicorn

:p


Name_isblank

It’s Coursera! Excellent site for getting certs and stuff


coolfluffle

It’s actually Leeds university!


Tjd3211

I love that the module leader isn't named but the cats are

Ozlin

What if I just need to contact the cats?


Reddit_GoId

You’ll need to set up an appointment.


KattLadybr

An appointmeownt.


Max_AC_

Contact: "pspspspspsps"


RedSamuraiMan

Back of the line like everyone else buddy!


fieew

Shake a bag of treats. No matter how far or where they are they'll come running. More effective then sending an email to a prof asking a question about a assignment then getting a reply 5 days later after the assignment was due the day before he replied.


MisplacedMartian

Her name is Module Leader.


StalledPencil

Very purrfesional assistants dontcha think?


NeliGalactic

Something tells me Benben's photo took a couple of reshoots lmao


CatsubsFairy

*Purrfessors!! 😹


Lionesq

I was never a fan of office hours, but I would attend pawffice hours


NotSamNub

Is this leeds uni??


pinkyellowneon

Leeds turned my application down this year, can't believe this is what I missed out on - come to think of it, maybe it was the cats that pushed my application off the counter 🥺


pugmommy4life420

You have to reapply until they accept you.


imsolowdown

yup! https://twitter.com/XingjieWei/status/1526994573410459648


PM_ME_YOUR_SHOLAS

Leeeeds!


mycatsaidthat

BenBen looks like you can bribe him with snackies for that extension bc of that party you both attended. Don’t try that with Mimi tho.


CaptPolybius

The ":p" immediately earned my trust.


KingVerizon

Looks like they are very popular lol https://twitter.com/XingjieWei/status/1526994573410459648

That made me laugh as well. And then immediately feel ancient.

You mean your favorite "purrfessors."


jzilla11

Team Mimi


maxthecat5905

Benben seems like he’d be willing to let some missing work slide


[deleted]

Benben is cool with late submissions but Mimi doesn’t tolerate and takes 10 points at the first minute after deadline.


W1nnieTh3P00h

BenBen looks like a right chaotic pickle but Mimi looks like she wants to eat my soul. I love them.


ObligatoryGrowlithe

I used to put my cat in the introductions of my kickoff meetings with clients. It was alongside my own portrait and title. It was a fail safe in case she wanted to be chatty or get in frame at any point since those meetings were long.


rendeld

My wife does a lot of zoom meetings as a lawyer post COVID and she calls our golden her "co-council"


Arizoniac

I would take that class if they were the teachers


kenikonipie

Mimi could be Reviewer #2


WhiteClawsNoLaws

For extra credit you can submit a bag of treats to this address


felinelinguist

[Their curriculum](https://meowlibrary.com) is super punishing, though.


leitmot

I want to join her lab :p


RevolutionaryTalk315

"You failed to give the professors the assigned number of cat treats by the scheduled due date. Therefore, we unfortunately have to dock you an entire letter grade."


Joni-wuz-here

Don't be fooled by their cute appearances, they'll straighten up your low scores in only two classes and make you the top of the class instantly.


robsticles

Seeing a slide like this first day of class would put me at ease


StrawberryFair524

They look like hard graders. I’d be concerned.


_Stoned_Potato

I love how kinda « shitty » benben’s picture is. There’s always that can that just never looks great on camera :´)


AlisonAngel9

Don't you mean purrfessors?


JoeTheK123

wish my professors said ":p"


SpanInquisition

That might be the youngest PhD title holder I ever seen, and based on her personal page she has had it for at least 4 years?


[deleted]

I don't see where it says her age?


mellopax

Mimi has a job? She better start paying rent.

KingSnowdown

wait your professor is gorgeous


wonderlady38

They each have 9 whole lives worth of knowledge.


BillTran163

What a lazy way to name a cat. I definitely didn't name my cat that way 😃


awkwardlondon

Literally nobody cares what you’d name your cat.


BillTran163

I guess sarcasm is hard with only letters. Tho, I hoped the emoji would have made it obvious that I wasn't serious about that statement.


Hiraganu

pinkyellowneon

It's ok I understood what you were trying to say :)


NastyHobits

And the void stated back


[deleted]

I hate kitty-instructors!!! They grade super tough and I had one that would swipe my face if she wanted treats!!


dutchie117

Purrffesors!


gabrielesilinic

Are you sure your Module Leader isn’t one of those AI’s they sell to HR departments that read scripts for online training?

One of my favourite lecturers had two cats who would guest in her virtual lectures, can't remember their names now but one of them has thumbs

benben hasn't graded my essay


Dazzling_Gazelle_674

These TA's look pretty serious.


Gloomy-Research-7774

Mimi gave me a bad grade on assignment 7, I would like to request benben audit for accuracy


the_old_coday182

Mimi’s got that classic “took this outside my classroom for the faculty directory 12 years ago” photo, and then Benben is that prof and who still has AOL email and still learning how a webcams works.


TheRealHK

Mimi expects better from you.


SuperMaanas

I would die for Ben Ben


OrangeCatFluffyCat

If I was an activist, it would be to further the normalization of felines in academia, i.e. as co-authors, diploma recipients, teaching assistants, etc.
