Favorite saying from a former colleague in response to my complaints about students and their general lack of interest in, well, pretty much anything I was interested in:
"Remember: they're not like us." m -- Marc Carter, PhD Associate Professor of Psychology Chair, Department of Behavioral and Health Sciences College of Arts & Sciences Baker University -- From: Paul C Bernhardt [mailto:pcbernha...@frostburg.edu] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 1:52 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: Re: [tips] Professor says students can't identify continents on map - Nfld. & Labrador - CBC News We are the ones standing in the front of the room... the rest of the folks in our classes are outside the room doing other work with their lives. Our students are wondering what kind of freaks we are, except for one or two students in the class who, one day, will be standing in front of their room. When they leave your room they go surf to the Wikipedia page on flags, and maybe edit the entries on one or two things they've learned about... Not everyone wants to be the person in the front of the room.
