1) They talk about how successful they were in the corporate world. They talk about it a lot.

2) They are female.*

3) They read the syllabus to the class. Word for word.

More to come, probably.

*-Does not apply to attractive females. I can put up with some really terrible teaching if I can stare at your chest and look like I'm paying attention.

^^^^^Do you have Brown for a BUS class?

8/18/2010 4:11:40 PM

I was such a truant in college that I probably missed out on a lot of great professors.

But I missed out on a lot of bad ones too, so it all evened out.

8/18/2010 4:12:12 PM

classes start already for you kids?

8/18/2010 4:12:55 PM

I've never taken a BUS class, and God-willing I never will.

Probably right on not being able to understand them, but I've never had that problem. All the Asian professors are in math and engineering, I guess.

@OP - this class is gonna suck balls.

holy fuck balls I hated that... It was a waste of 50 minutes, because they had to read it all. And at the end, they asked if anyone had any questions- WHO THE FUCK IN A 300+ LEVEL COURSE CANNOT UNDERSTAND A SYLLABUS, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS READ WORD FOR WORD TO THEM


I even had one teacher who couldn't read it all in one class period, and wasted the start of the next class period to finish

if his last name is Silber

8/18/2010 5:14:13 PM

When thy send an email:

"Am re-writing the syllabus. Don't buy the book because this class is very demanding and you'll drop it"

So i paraphrased.

- If they openly admit that their significant other just left them

- If they teach a subject that involves and only involves sitting in front of a computer*

- If they are the author of the book they assigned to the class

- If your class is their eighth teaching assignment in eight years

* Not always the case, but folks who work inside, seated, at a computer, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, are typically a little dull IMO.

Boles is the only class textbook author I've had and he's the man

Not always true. Dr. Campbell was the shit, and he wrote his book.

God, this is stupid.

She says "OK" after every sentence.

She's an extremely white person who tells stories about how she is discriminated against because she has a vaguely Hispanic last name.

The class is about cross-cultural communications. Here's the only cross-cultural communication policy you need: Don't act like a dick to people and you'll probably get along.

I can already tell that the two hours between my first class and this one will be spent at Mitch's on a regular basis.
