Throughout the semester as I’m taking notes in lecture or discussion, if the professor or TA says something humorous, I try to write the quote down at the top of my page of notes. Unfortunately I usually forget it there and never see it again, but this semester I’ve been coming across these quotes again as I’m studying for finals, and I thought I should share some of them.<\/p>\n
Prof. Moo Chung (Stats 311):<\/strong> Prof. Sean Teuton (American Indian Studies 172)<\/strong>, displaying his amazing arithmetic skills (amazing for an English professor, I suppose): Kevin Piper (AIS 172 Instructor)<\/strong>, with a quote that I really hope isn’t true, for the sake of us all: If I find more quotes as I go through my ECE 352 notes this week, I’ll toss them up here, too. Then maybe over winter break when I go through left over stuff from last year I’ll find my quotes from Prof. Sigurd Angenent, who is by far<\/strong> the funniest professor I’ve ever had, not to mention being an excellent mathematics teacher. I highly recommend him, if you’re going to be taking any Calculus in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Throughout the semester as I’m taking notes in lecture or discussion, if the professor or TA says something humorous, I try to write the quote down at the top of my page of notes.

\n“As you can see, computing the probability that [some equation on the board] is less than t<\/code> is quite difficult. I mean you<\/em> can write<\/em> it, and for me<\/em> it’s easy, but for other people it’s very hard.”<\/p>\n
