Re: Funny things teachers/professors have said
OH, yay!
My calculus TA is from Poland.
In the immortal words of my Calc 1 TA:
From the Syllabus:
"Please don't come too late to class- you may miss important information or lost connection with blackboard."
"The following behavior in class is prohibited: ... using musical instruments and singing."
"Any person who won't obey this rule will be asked to stay outside the classroom until the reason stops."
In class discussion:
"So, if you were playing a violin, you would have to sit outside until you stopped."
"The best way to understand the squeeze theorem is two cops and a drunk man."
"So think of e^x like a member of the army. And the drill Sergeant says do push-ups but one man wont do the pushups so the drill sergeant says to him 'do the push-ups or I will differentiate you' And the guy isn't afraid... because he's e^x and nothing happens to e^x when you differentiate it."
And my Anthropology TA:
1st email: Article for tomorrow's quiz attached.
2nd email: Sorry for my error. Here is the article for tomorrow's quiz.
3rd email: Article for tomorrow's quiz actually attached this time.
4th email: Article to be distributed tomorrow for next week's quiz.
My intro engineering prof after our lecture on binary addition.
Alright, kids. Now you can go call your mommies and tell them that you just learned to add 1 + 1. I'm sure they'll feel that they are getting their 40,000 dollars worth.
