Tell me what you like to be called. -- Who are you? How do you spell your name? -- Who are you? Please follow these guidelines and you'll do fine in this class. -- Don't cross me you maggots. We will be using one of the leading textbooks in the field. -- We will be using my textbook. The gist of the theoretical framework is what's most important. -- I don't understand the details either. Most scholars believe that . . . -- I believe that . . . Ask me that question in another way. -- Try being coherent this time. There are no stupid questions. -- But there are stupid students. You'll have to see me during office hours for analysis of that issue. -- I don't have a clue. That issue is beyond the scope of this class. -- I really don't have a clue. Today we are going to discuss a critical research topic. -- Today we are going to discuss one of my articles. Unfortunately, we don't have the time to study all the scholars who have made contributions in this area. -- We will not be covering the work of people whose ideas differ from mine. We can continue this discussion at another time. -- This has nothing to do with anything you moron. We can continue this discussion at another time. -- Ok, you win. We can continue this discussion at another time. -- I have nothing else to say about this topic. Today we'll let a member of the class lead the discussion. -- I was busy revising an article and didn't prepare for class. What did Piaget say on this point? -- Did anyone do the assigned reading? That's an interesting point of view. -- What incredible nonsense. You think so? -- I don't. The implications of this study are clear. -- I don't know what it means either, but there'll be a question about it on the test. The test will be primarily multiple choice questions. -- The test will be 60 multiple choice questions, 30 true-false items, 15 fill-in-the blanks, 10 short-answer, and three essays. Keep in mind that this was a challenging exam. -- No one scored above a C-. The test scores were a little below my expectations. -- No one is going to accuse me of grade inflation this term. I'll certainly give that some consideration. -- Not a chance. I'm sorry about your grandmother. -- Wait till you see the make-up exam. Any further questions? -- I'm ready to go. It's been very rewarding to teach this class. -- I hope they find someone else to teach it next term. You should probably get a reference letter from someone who's had you in more than one class. -- Who are you?
