Comments on: Stupidity in the Guise of College Professors http://counterfeithumans.com/2008/02/13/stupidity-in-the-guise-of-college-professors/ How to Maintain Sanity over Everyday Stupidity Thu, 04 Dec 2008 04:16:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Julianne http://counterfeithumans.com/2008/02/13/stupidity-in-the-guise-of-college-professors/#comment-1924 Julianne Mon, 18 Feb 2008 21:27:27 +0000 http://counterfeithumans.com/2008/02/13/stupidity-in-the-guise-of-college-professors/#comment-1924 Great post. I am reminded of one of my stuper professors, also a teacher of Psych 101. He walked down the aisle of the classroom the first day carrying a boom box, blaring some Queen song. It was very Michael Scott. I also had a Logic professor who was ESL and I could only catch about 25 percent of what he said. Thankfully, logic was my strong suit and our communication problems didn't have much impact on my academic performance. Great post.

And I'm afraid I've had your insipid Dr. as an instructor too. Very wise note to yourself. I'm grateful my kids are self learners. New Diva: How absolutely ridiculous of your instructor! So many stupers are adept at giving advice, but inept at following it themselves. Agnes: I did pass the course, thanks to the copious lecture notes. If I dropped out every time I had a mind numbingly boring instructor, I'm afraid I never would have graduated. Of course, those were in the days of my youth. I have no such tolerance today. Starlily:

And if you did, how did you manage it with such a dreadful lecturer? I'm afraid that I permanently skived my psychology lectures due to having the most brain-achingly boring female teaching us. And then I dropped out. I don't stick at things very well when boredom hits me! Did you pass this course, though? And if you did, how did you manage it with such a dreadful lecturer?

I am gaggin just thinking about it. I had a "Man and the Environment" (a biology class) professor that insisted we never chew gum in his class, start a compost pile if at all possible, never eat anything but whole grain goodness, etc. etc. My bubble was burst when he was seen in the cafeteria eating a hot dog and french fries.
