We've all had our first-day-of-class experiences, but it's fair to say there are definitely certain categories most professors fall into.
1. The Speedster
"Ok, so this class will be meeting at this time on this day. Here's the syllabus. There's this whole "academic dishonesty" mumbo jumbo, but long story short, just don't cheat, ok? Oh, and something about a writing center? You all got that? And one more thing: We're gonna be learning about the ocean in this Intro to Oceanography course. Ok, cool. Well it's 9:03, so I'll see you guys Thursday!"
2. The Beggar
"Guys, please tell your friends about this amazing new 13th-century Yiddish folklore seminar the Germanic Languages Department has allowed me to put on! Can the two of you hear me? Come up here to the front of the class! We're all going to have so much fun this semester, but make sure you tell them to sign up quickly before the wait list gets too full!"
