Yr 1:Teacher Species...

If i could pluck out a single hair for everytime a professor made me feel so, i'd be bald 3 times over.
Electrical
Considering the fact that ET was the subject that pestered us most through an agonising set of boring approximations and irrelevant details, we had to spend our waking time in class by analysing those who didn't, i.e the professors...
2 profs took our lectures on different days, one was the jovial type...more experienced about the limited aspects of teaching a subject that no one is keen to follow up(Cmon, you really wanna know why magnetostriction is useful?).So what followed was failed attempts at academic humour, e.g, "You are solving the problem using Norton's theorem, while the electrician can undertsand only voltages, so will you sit and teach him Norton's theorem in your room?"..silence..."hehe, no you won't!"Great Galaxy man!
The other was a shade younger( the first one was 60,while this man was 50, and younger isn't exactly a linear function), but infinitely more boring!...ofcourse he at least asked interesting GK questions which we enjoyed answering, e.g "give an example of a linear motion motor.." I shout, "MAGLEV!"...he looks up, smiles and says," good, correct"...and i can stay awake for the rest of the lecture!
Civil
A course in solid mechanics had put us all in a serious dilemma about our future in the technical field.The professor was a sure-shot cure for insomnia...i knew of ppl who had 5 cups of coffee in an attempt to stay awake , but failed to do so...i am feeling drowsy just recalling his lectures.
Mathematics
Mathematics is essential for engineering, which is probably why most students fail in the subject.One of the professors had a habit of repeating most of his lines twice, while another went so fast that a few of us decided to learn short-hand if we'd get around to writing legibly in his lectures.
general
In general, even though I've hardly covered all the professors. I can peacefully say that i haven't pointed out the "good profs".These are the professors who hardly take attendance since their classes will be attended anyway.They are that good.But its more fun to recall really stupid instances by these men and their mannerisms which would have us clutching our guts to prevent laughing out loud.
I almost forgot to mention this one last point though: all professors have abbreviated names, they even call each other by those abbreviations.This leaves us students confused about the real names of the professors.
