| You'll be using one
of the leading textbooks in the field. |
I used it as a grad
student. |
| If you follow these
few simple rules, you'll do fine in the course. |
If you don't need any
sleep, you'll do fine in the course. |
| The gist of what the
author is saying is what's most important. |
I don't understand the
details either. |
| Various authorities
agree that... |
My hunch is that... |
| The answer to your question
is beyond the scope of this class. |
I don't know. |
| You'll have to see me
during my office hours for a thorough answer to your
question. |
I don't know. |
| In order to answer to
your question, you must recognize that there are several
disparate points of view. |
I really don't know. |
| Today we are going to
discuss a most important topic. |
Today we are going to
discuss my dissertation. |
| Unfortunately, we haven't
the time to consider all of the people who made contributions
to this field. |
I disagree with what
roughly half of the people in this field have said. |
| We can continue this
discussion outside of class. |
1. I'm tired of this
- let's quit.
2. You're winning the argument - let's quit. |
| Today we'll let a member
of the class lead the discussion. It will be a good
educational experience. |
I stayed out to late
last night and didn't have time to prepare a lecture. |
| Any questions? |
I'm ready to let you
go. |
| The implications of
this study are clear. |
I don't know what it
means either, but there'll be a question about it on
the test. |
| The test will be 50-questions
multiple choice. |
The test will be 60-questions
multiple guess, plus three short-answer questions (1000
words or more) and no one will score above 55%. |
| The test scores were
generally good. |
Some of you managed
a C+. |
| The test scores were
a little below my expectations. |
Where was the party
last night? |
| Some of you could have
done better. |
Everyone flunked. |
| Before we begin the lecture for today,
are there any questions about previous material? |
Has anyone opened the book yet? |
| According to my sources... |
According to the guy who taught this
class last year... |
| It's been very rewarding to teach this
class. |
I hope they find someone else to teach
it next year. |
