Uh, pro tip to any aspiring teachers: if a student asks you a question, the correct response is
not to make them feel stupid for asking it...in front of the whole fucking class. I mean, if you want to entirely disengage that student, please by all means, lecture the entire class about properly reading the syllabus when your student asks why they were unable to take a quiz on their Blackboard, because they didn't realize that today was the 4th rather than the 5th. Ridiculing your student in front of the rest of the class when they're asking how to stay
ahead of the curve, as suggested on day one, is definitely a good way to piss them off and get them to effectively tune you out for the rest of the lecture. You asshole.
Like I don't already have enough to stress about right now; being embarrassed in front of a class of four hundred students was an awesome addition to it, thank you so much, Professor Doucherocket.ELSA....as soon as I got home, Derek could smell the anxiety on me. I had to tell him. So I think he'll want me to take the test with him, instead of you. The good news is...his head didn't explode, so I'm feeling marginally better about it...?
