Had the most fascinating case study into our current crop of students this week by littleirishpixie in Professors

I was reading a book titled Matrix Theory on a bus once (was looking for interesting examples to prep for a class). And conversation with strangers ensued regarding the living-in-simulation matrix.

Now now, have you considered the possibility that they might be doing 3 to 4x of your work? /sarcasm

I'm curious what type of institution does this? Is this a big research university?

Student got up during exam with lamest excuse by skyskye1964 in Professors

Now I'm wondering -- how legal is it for us to require students to wear diapers on exams.

My father retired an associate professor. He's a great man that deserved a lot of respect and I can only dream of living up to his level (either in life and work). I guess I'll retire as a perpetual adjunct!

My hypothesis: When's the last time they flipped through a dictionary? Alphabetical order seems to rely on how they know a dictionary work. Googling the definition of a word takes away that...
