Professors, no matter how horrible they are, always get an applause at the end of the semester…during the last lecture. Today was the last day of Linguistics. The professor is good sometimes, but usually bad most of the time. As she ended the lecture, the usual noise of shuffling and tables pushed aside grew. Then after several seconds of that, there was finally applause.
It\’s sad that there was hesitation for her applause.
we don\’t applaud our professors at msu.. if we thought they lectured well, you go and tell them after the last class or after the final personally. i always thought that would be more meaningful to someone to get a heartfelt thankyou from an individual, rather than an ambiguous and perhaps hesitant applause from the whole class.
as you guessed… MSU + herbert != true. logical conclusion? i\’m naim!
i can\’t remember if there\’s applause or not. it\’s a really nice gesture, though… even if it comes a few seconds late.
