I was off spinning these raunchy fiction stories with dialogue, and that's not really what my professor wanted. About halfway through the semester, I caught on to what she wanted. I had to play catch-up just to get a C. I was happy to get that C.

I would advise an incoming gay professor to stay closeted depending on the department they work in, for some are more liberal and accepting than others. Prior to becoming tenured, they may be judged on their sexual preference instead of their expertise, intelligence and research.

When my husband became a professor at USF in 1966 I remember the campus in Tampa was literally a wasteland. When I go to that campus now and look at what's happening, I can't believe it.

The PPL program has missed Professor Arthur's guidance. Many students over the course of this semester have approached us to express their wishes for his recovery. Students have also expressed their hope to take a course from him next year. The strong and supportive student response is a testament to Professor Arthur's dedication and work as a teacher and advisor to so many students.

The PPL faculty have also missed Professor Arthur's presence and participation in the department.

As though an invisible hand were writing upon it, words appeared on the smooth surface of the map. "Mr. Moony presents his compliments to Professor Snape, and begs him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business."Snape froze. Harry stared, dumbstruck, at the message. But the map didn't stop there. More writing was appearing beneath the first."Mr. Prongs agrees with Mr. Moony, and would like to add that Professor Snape is an ugly git."It would have been funny if the situation hadn't been so serious. And there was more..."Mr. Padfoot would like to register his astonishment that an idiot like that ever became a professor."Harry closed his eyes in horror. When he'd opened them, the map had had its last word."Mr. Wormtail bids Professor Snape good day, and advises him to wash his hair, the slimeball.

The reshaping of education through e-learning leads me to observe that international course-taking is on the horizon, ... Imagine students at UCLA taking courses at Oxford, and students in Tokyo learning physics from a professor at Duke.

There's nothing a professor likes better than imposing his opinion on as large a number of people as possible.

The Schleswig-Holstein question is so complicated, only three men in Europe have ever understood it. One was Prince Albert, who is dead. The second was a German professor who became mad. I am the third and I have forgotten all about it.

The students turn a Y into a J. I had a well-spoken professor tell me he went to 'jail' when he meant to tell me he attended 'Yale' University.

The thing which attracted me to Google and to the Internet in general is that it's a great equalizer. I've always been struck by the fact that Google search worked the same, as long as you had access to a computer with connectivity, if you're a rural kid anywhere or a professor at Stanford or Harvard.

I've learned to accept the fact that my students are far too busy preparing for their own legal careers to care one bit about the off-campus antics of Professor Burke. I get the impression that my students are vaguely aware of my novels, but are at best mildly curious.

I've always done more than I ever thought I would. Becoming a professor - I never would have imagined that. Writing books - I never would have imagined that. Getting a Ph.D. - I'm not sure I would even have imagined that. I've lived my life a step at a time. Things sort of happened.

Dr. Anvari is a seasoned professional dean who emerged as our leading candidate from a national search, ... He comes to the university with many years of experience as a professor and dean. He just brings a lot of strength to our academic and administrative bench.

Despite the fact that he certainly would not have had to make a career in teaching given his extraordinary success ... he spent 15 years as a professor at the University of Houston. That kind of spoke to his interest in bringing along young talent. Not only is he a brilliant playwright, but he's also genuinely interested in young writers.

A professor who teaches what I do for a living, which is insurance law, they don't know more about the subject than I do. I know more than they do, because what they do is teach generally.

A professor is one who talks in someone else's sleep.

As a female it never crossed my mind to feel uncomfortable around Professor Schaffer. I would often stay after class to ask personal questions,

At some of the other schools the programs were too big. It's very nice here. The professor gets to know us and our strengths and weaknesses. He makes sure we know what we're doing.

This is a mockery of our laws. It's a complete joke. The fact that Congress solemnly inserted this provision that will be used over the next 25 years exactly zero times ... makes me embarrassed to say that I am a law professor in the U.S.

It started as an idea, and my professor liked it. She allowed me to take two more classes to develop the content and business plans.

The Administration estimates that its HSA-related tax proposals would cost $156 billion over the next ten years, which would worsen the nation's fiscal problems. Professor Gruber's study raises very serious questions about the wisdom of these proposals.

In 1971 I returned to the University of Chicago as Professor of Physics.

I had no qualms about patenting technology. When I was at MIT, there was a professor who came up with a potential treatment for epilepsy, but he didn't patent his invention.

That's when I realized the importance of patents.

I never had a single female professor throughout my whole education, from the beginning of university to the end. Even all the books were about men; I never really liked reading books about the history of science, and I never really understood why.

IN'ARDS, n. The stomach, heart, soul and other bowels. Many eminent investigators do not class the soul as an in'ard, but that acute observer and renowned authority, Dr. Gunsaulus, is persuaded that the mysterious organ known as the spleen is nothing less than our important part. To the contrary, Professor Garrett P.

Concerning these two theories, it is best to suspend judgment by believing both.

I'll ask buddies that had the class before if you don't really use the book, how the professor is. Sometimes Ill wait until I have to buy the book later in the semester or if I don't have to. But you have to buy it if you have to have it.

And it still produces, too. The Stockton Symphony is top-notch in my book, and there's some great students coming to the institute. Joe Gilman (the American River College music professor who also teaches at the institute) is one of the most talented pianists I've ever heard. That praise doesn't do him justice,

All the figures show that film-makers and publishers go for the safe option,'' says Peter Hunt, children's literature professor at Cardiff University.
