The art history class that I'm in takes place in a lecture hall of 300 or more students. It's my last class of the day, and because it's so humongous, I thought I'd take a picture.
SO,
SO,
after "discretely" capturing my photo while sitting in the back, my professor (who I thought was intimidating even before today) stopped his lecturing and asked, "Who just took a picture?" I raised my hand, and of course, my face reddened immediately. I didn't use flash for this reason!
He then walked up the center aisle and asked why I would do this. I said I wanted a picture of the class because I had never been in one so large.
He chuckled, walked back to his podium and said, "I can do that, too." Right then he pulled out his phone and took a picture of his 300 students from where he stood. Then he said, "You guys think I don't pay attention, but I do."

No kidding.
There's the run-down of today's photo moment. An embarrassing one, but at least it makes for an interesting caption.

haha that's funny! my favorite experience with that is when i had a crazy Argentinian math professor. a student was folding up his newspaper after the bell rang for class to begin. The prof turned around and YELLED at him for being so rude. then he started teaching, but was so mad he turned around again and chewed him out a second time!
ReplyDeleteYou are SO brave!! I love this entry.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about brave. My heart was beating pretty quickly after he called me out.
ReplyDeleteBrian, your Argentinian math professor does sound crazy. I probably would've cried if I was that kid, haha.
Du Arme, ich waere im Erdboden versunken. But he was right, he did pay attention. Und das mit 300 Studenten. Herzlichen Glueckwunsch. Tine
ReplyDeleteI would have cried!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh that's crazy. I'm proud that you handled yourself so well. Kudos for owning up to it, I don't know if I could... Your professor sounds cool though, this story give me respect for this stranger. haha
