That's pretty harsh...
Amazing, simply amazing.
hardindr, were you commenting on the "need an A" post? My response to the student boiled down to what I presented, but I wrapped it up far more gently, with lots of soft and sympathic words.
Jesse, this was but a sample of the responses are got. Some were great, like "Angry 'Hottie' Professor," and "Greatest instructor at LSU -- no, the World!" I'm so glad I asked the question. "Sanchez" and "Kazuku" alone really made my day.
Oh, that is too funny.
angry professor,
Absolutely not! I'm amazed that so many of your students who took your class for an entire semester couldn't even remember your name! What an insult! Who did they think they were looking at for 3-4 months! When they had a question, did they shout out, "Hey you!?!" A question like that shouldn't be an extra credit point. Getting it right should be mandatory for passing a final.
You've been holding out on us! How come you never told us your name was really Kuzuku?
:)
terminaldegree, I was greatly amused that they could even peg my ethnicity correctly (WASP)!
hardindr, I appreciate your sentiments, but I think this sample was representative of the folks who only showed up for quizzes and exams. They never took the opportunity to get my attention, so "hey you!" wasn't even necessary. The most amusing thing about my lectures (apropos to this question), is that every lecture presentation had a title slide indicating the day's topic, with (you guessed it) my name in equally-large font right underneath it.
Oops, that should say "couldn't peg" above.
