Left Wing College Ping!

Let me know if you want on or off this list.

[jigsaw]

To conclude the lesson he said that the point of the class was not to teach us Business Law, but how to cut corners around Business Law, and to work smart instead of working hard.

How typically RATish!

[ConservativeMan55]

I agree. He said that the only place working hard will get you is Quick-Trip.

[OneLoyalAmerican]

Is there a syllabus for this course?

[ConservativeMan55]

Yes there is a syllabus. Its mainly got the Business Law stuff on it. Not the other crap he peppers over the lecture.

[ConservativeMan55]

Actually on the back of the syllabus there is what he calls "Academic Welfare"
All you have to do is check a box that says you are a hypocrital conservative, and he will give you ten free points. I refused to do it.

[LiteKeeper]

hang tough

[ConservativeMan55]

Its not so bad listening to him because i can see straight through him. I worry about those who might be easily influenced by his scam. Although he tries to be a very complicated person, and people who aren't interested in this kind of thing probably haven't and don't want to think much about it.

[The FRugitive]

What's the URL to your professor's website?

[Mr. Bungle]

Just by reading the statements, it would be almost impossible to guess what this person is supposed to teach. That's usually not a good sign, kind of like your dentist reaching for a trombone during a root canal. I really can't imagine this guy being terribly useful, except to laugh at.

I see him better suited as the guy you see along the side of the freeway, wearing hightops and a dirty raincoat, scowling at passers-by. And in a world where academia didn't coddle, then tenure, its carnival freaks, that's exactly where he'd be.



PS Please add me to the ping list. This stuff is priceless.

[Proud Legions]

Be of good cheer...often these guys go so far over the top that most in the class discount what they have to say about politics. I saw one student one time raise his hand after a tirade like the ones you mention. When the prof asked what his question was, the student asked if what the prof was saying was fact or opinion. Took the prof off guard. The student kept it up all semester. Worked pretty well to disarm the prof. Hang in there...we are actually winning the war of worldviews!

[Optimist]

how to cut corners around Business Law, and to work smart instead of working hard

Obviously not a business ETHICS class. Considering his apparent ethical position, it's no wonder that he considered BJ's impeachment to be about sex (no big deal).

But then it apparently isn't a business law class because he doesnt understand the significance of a CEO lying under oath .... or does he (see first sentence above, re. ethics)

BTW, how do you keep from blowing your brains out (or at least the frontal lobe - so you can bear to listen to such drivel)? Or, have you decided that a grade is not as important as fighting back against insipid comments?

[FreedomFarmer]

Whatever you do, don't carry any Ayn Rand books into class...they'll have you up on murder charges if he gets a wiff of objectivism. Black's Law Dictionary might be considered a WMD....

[meadsjn]

My advice: get your grade, and move on, and then get your degree, and go start making your millions. Otherwise, you'll pay double in time and money, and possibly never graduate.

Success is the sweetest revenge.

[ConservativeMan55]

I added you. I will give you the links to the other entries I have made as well.

[SteveH]

UK has a crime rate which is increasing with more gun laws. That is what is hard to explain. Direct cross-oceanic comparisons are not as valid because there is a violence level difference which affects not only gun related violence but other violence as well, so the gun stuff tends to factor out, if I recall correctly. (Prof. Joyce Malcolm has done studies.)

[ConservativeMan55]

I argue with him every day. He gives extra credit points to those who argue or disagree with him.

[ConservativeMan55]

This is for those who would like to catch up on other entries you may have missed.
