bringing this thread back.

lecturer sees some kid write something down:
'you know i have lectured in other countries. I go to America and I come in and say "Good morning!" and they are excited and say "Good morning!" back. I go over to europe and I come in and I say "good morning!" and they are not so happy because of the cold and they say "good morning" in a low voice. then i come to australia and I walk into a class and say "Good morning!" and they write it down!"

when the physics lecturer asked for an volunteer to come down and whack a stake into his chest with a hammer for a demonstration. real hammer and wooden stake.
It was a lead stake, yeah the Physics lecturer is hilarious.

prusty in mechanics of solids (reading off lecture notes): "It is helpful to think of the beginning just to the left of the left end of the left end of the beam, with the initial value of the shear force equal to zero."

During the 5 minute break of our very first lecture, the lecturer was mobbed by people asking questions. He kept trying to get away but had no luck until he said "Excuse me. I gotta go take a piss."
I found it funny haha. He is a greying man too and he said it straight at this one student. Rofl.

Flocking group of students can be pretty a pretty scary/annoying/frustrating experience for a lecturer. :guitar:

That is why questions should be asked DURING the lecture especially when the lecturer requests them.

econ2101 lect today:

lecturer: "2 hr lectures can get very boring. so throughout all the lectures im going to do weird things and you make a 'list of oddness' the person with the longest list wins a prize, a life changing prize at the end of sem"

weird things that he did:
- pretend tripped over the desk at the front
- walked out one door of the theatre still talking (had a mic on) then came back in another door talking the whole time like nothing happened.

:D
