Overheard in class today:
Prof: “A text defines X concept as _____.”
(_The quote and citation appear on an overhead. One of the authors of the text, wrote an article that we discussed in depth earlier in the semester._)
Sam: So and So, wrote a text book. Hmmm.
Prof: Yeah, he’s rather prolific.
Sam: Or his grad students are.
Prof: Says the cynic.
Sam Shrugs.
Prof: Yeah, you’re probably right.
