From PhD Comics (love them!):
What would it look like if we dissected a graduate seminar or a small undergrad course? Who looks straight on to the professor? Who sits to the prof’s side? Who sits by the door and always comes in 5 minutes late?
In other news, I’m starting to feel the light at the end of tunnel–the dissertation tunnel, that is. I promise that soon, very soon, I will dedicate more time to my blogging.
Grad Seminar:
right next to the professor - prepared, because they either work with the prof, or want to (so not much different from the suck up, really)
nearest the door - grad that's MOST late
directly across - person that has to lead the discussion that week, or really wants to
middle of the table - read some of the readings, will B.S. the rest
end of table - didn't read because partied too hard OR working on stuff that will actually get them ahead in life, and therefore hopes to avoid having to talk at all
What a great procrasination exercise. What do you think?
