Willow ,'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
But no matter how cold it is, it will be warm in the apartment. I no longer fear the heat death of the universe.
Right there with you. I left the windows open all day yesterday, it dropped below freezing by the time I got home at night, yet inside it was 56°. Thanks for paying me back with free heat, downstairs neighbor that I did not wash out with a flood of sewerage!
Rick, are you sure that student didn't have "I LOVE YOU" written in eyeliner on her eyelids? Watch for the blinkers!
Yeah, Rick, I wouldn't write that about my teacher unless I wanted to boink him.
I've been talking about the teacher rating thing a fair amount recently, and it's interesting -- the form we use at my school was designed by a student committee, and doesn't include a single question about how much you learned in the class. Oops. Granted, it asks how useful it was, what classes prepared you for it, what classes it prepared you for, and like that, but nothing explicitly about learning.
My apartment overheats very easily (ginormous radiators, tiny little rooms), so we leave the windows open practically all winter.
I could only remember the name of one CompSci professor at McGill who's still there, and their comments would be like mine -- brilliant guy, but he should pass more people.
Now I'm looking up a college friend, and they're not being nice to her at all. Ouch.
Hah. The ratings for my Dad's 110 are not good. I'm not surprised. It is a class students often take to fulfill a science req, thinking it will be easy, with no math or physics. It isn't. My dad's style is lecture and q&a and he is a bit of a hardass. From what I heard from my friends who went to that school, students either loved the class, or hated it and him with a passion.
snork. I just looked up my favorite professor from grad school.
so boring and lazy. he is the type of teacher that just sits there and lets the students do all the work. i think he is just a****who likes sappy victorian literature and has no real desire to do the work of teaching it. he wants you to read it and then show up to class and like cry about how beautiful it was like those women on the Oprah Book Club. let's just say his "teaching style" isn't my style.
I found this about my Spanish prof:
He looks just like Antonio Banderas, only smarter. He is a great prof, and has an amazing
As I recall, he's actually a lot better-looking than Antonio Banderas, and now I'm wondering what the missing amazing is.
(He's a biologist by training, and teaches--or did 13 years ago--Spanish part-time for extra money, so his technique was totally different from any language teacher I'd ever had. More conversational, and with a lot more slang.)
One of my friends teaches at a small university near here. This rating suits him to a T:
A cool prof who now looks more eccentric. He's extremely knowledgeable and his internet notes and sourcebook were extremely helpful. The only problem was his barn door once in a while opening...
