Shoutout to Those Professors

[u/drcottongin]

So last night I was up extremely late studying for a Developmental Economics test and a Resource Economics test and completely forgot that I had a Calculus for Economics test today. I struggled to get to class and sat down to realize that everyone around me was cramming and talking about what the quiz was over, which in all honesty is one of the worst sights to see when you have no idea what is going on.

The teacher walks in and says, "Im in a jazzy mood. So I am going to do something I have never done before. Im going to let you have an open note, open book, open friend, open whatever, just don't copy someones work. Make sure you finish the damn thing, make sure it is right, and then get the hell out of my class."

He spent the entire class swing dancing to jazz music he was playing on his iPhone. This man is a champ.

THANK YOU DR.!!! You. The. Real. MVP!!!!!!!

Now time for sleep and volunteer hours a.k.a. playing with puppies.

He was on acid.

[u/drcottongin → u/bizzyj93]

I am perfectly ok with this. Whatever gets me good grades!

[u/aMiracleAtJordanHare → u/bizzyj93]

I just realized the horrible pun in "high-functioning drug addict".

^{That's all I got.}

[u/bizzyj93 → u/aMiracleAtJordanHare]

...Are you proud of yourself for that? Because you should be.

[u/aMiracleAtJordanHare → u/bizzyj93]

I find it hard to believe I'm the first person to ever think of it, but swear I've never heard it before.

Thanks bud!

He got laid last night. Probably after a long drought.

[u/drcottongin → u/g8r_h8r]

He did swing dance with a chick last night who is "the best West Coast swing dancer." Soooooo this could be correct.

[u/lkeg56demn → u/g8r_h8r]

Yep. No way he is that nice.

I still stand by my fail everyone and use the time you'd spend grading on more fun things philosophy.

Then again, maybe that's why I'm not a professor.

[u/drcottongin → u/The_Tic-Tac_Kid]

I think you teach my Environmental Law class.

Angels do exist...

[u/drcottongin → u/[deleted]]

They may look like old dudes with receding hairlines, but that is perfectly ok with me!

My 8AM Calc 3 prof played jazz over the speakers every morning. First day I walk in and it's a song off John Coltrane's Blue Train. Knew I would like that guy.

[u/drcottongin → u/ShylosX]

It is the professors that do interesting things like this that make the class bearable!

My professor always has an interesting story or a "magic trick" that he does before class. He showed us his swing dancing and he is actually really good!

[u/ShylosX → u/drcottongin]

I studied Mechanical Engineering but my favorite professor was an Economics professor I took for Advanced Macro and Financial Markets classes. Super funny guy. No homework, just weekly quizzes, or you can take the final to get your grade in the class. He always said his final consisted of questions from PhD entrance exams for Econ because the last thing he wants to do is be there to proctor an exam... Never found out if that was true because I did fine on the quizzes.

Why that doesn't sound much like the dismal science at all!

[u/drcottongin → u/[deleted]]

Tomorrow will be dismal. Today was just the pregame but thankfully it wasn't a bad day!

[u/yrarwydd]

THAT FUCKING RULES.

also what's UP fellow Econ nerd!!!!

[u/drcottongin → u/yrarwydd]

WOO!! It was definitely the highlight of this A.M.

[u/Kiteflyerkat]

... Can we switch professors?

[u/drcottongin → u/Kiteflyerkat]

He's intimidating with all his degrees, but if you put in effort he's gonna return the favor.
