Quote: my professor is pi$$ing me off. He asked a question, asking for my opinion, and now he's arguing with my responses. If my "opinion" was the wrong "answer", just tell me. Geesh!
Ha! LOL! I don't know why this tickled my funny bone so much, but it did. Thank you!
Here's some professorese to help you translate those class participation moments: "Interesting!" You have no idea what we're talking about. "Tell me more" I wasn't listening. Please repeat yourself. "Thank you. Anyone else?" Please someone save our discussion from this slow agonizing death!
But arguing with a student's opinion? This is likely a compliment, M. He's intrigued by your challenging ideas and has brought out his saber for a bit of intellectual dueling (or he's threatened and is trying to quiet you before you take the class down a different direction that he had planned! )
