Adi's comment about his very very very free-culture--friendly teacher
made me realize what I write below.

Two situations where this is absolutely awesome
1 Students are comfortable having their goofiness leaked.
2 Students dislike the lectures but go because some sort of
proprietary information is presented only in lecture

The typical example of 2 is where a teacher doesn't post lecture
slides on line in order to encourage people to go to class rather than
coming up with a more elegant ways of getting people to go to class,
like teaching better.

2 is most annoying when the teacher uses non-standard terminology,
which is pretty hard not to do in a specialized field. I'm mainly
thinking of my major, which you might consider to be "design" and
social science of the built environment.
