<p>Check out the list and let me know if it applies to you!</p>

<p>Fun</a> With Stereotypes: The 8 Professors You?ll Have in College | Articles & Advice</p>

<p>btw, which of the 8 is your favorite professor? Mine would be a combination of the Tweed and the World’s Most Interesting Man :).</p>

<p>I know my PDE professor is almost like “The Coach”…</p>

3

<p>I have to add another, the brilliant but heavily accented and thus incomprehensible teacher from abroad. I think most campuses have one. He’s an internationally renowned expert in his field but half the time you have no idea what he’s saying. Those who have an ear for accents will learn a ton. The rest of the class, well…</p>

4

<p>My S has had a guest lecturer in one of his classes that he simply describes as Dolores Umbridge.</p>

<p>“My S has had a guest lecturer in one of his classes that he simply describes as Dolores Umbridge.”</p>

<p>LOL</p>

<p>My A&P professor is a bit like "the Writer” in that he wears grandpa sweaters and likes you if you work hard. He is a bit of a Tweed though.</p>

6

<p>I sent it to a few profs asking them to figure out who they are.</p>

7

<p>

</p>

<p>Oh me, oh my, I really hope he’s just talking about her toad-like appearance. I shudder to think that anyone like that could actually exist.</p>

8

<p>crazymonster, that is AWESOME. </p>

<p>My personal favorite is the Tweed. Doing a study abroad with him in Rome this summer and am ridiculously excited.</p>

9

<p>70 year old semi-retired prof reminded me of Jimmy Stewart. Shocked when I saw him emerge from the Science Hall in a full set leathers and jump on a Harley.</p>

10

<p>My BC Calculus teacher in my highschool was once telling our class to straighten up and appreciate him one day when everyone was goofing around, and then told us that he might be the only native english speaking math teacher we might ever have in our life. Lol</p>

11

<p>What about the one you have a crush on, because they are rather uniquely endearing/attractive? Well, I guess all 8 types could potentially be attractive :)</p>

12

<p>I can kind of fit most of my older colleagues into one of the categories on this list (one of my senior mentors is The World’s Most Interesting Man who literally says things like, “When the Duke/Countess/Baron called me yesterday…”) but those of us who are younger fit more into categories like “The Single Workaholic,” “The Family Juggler,” and “The Accidental Pillar of the Community.” LOL</p>

13

<p>Ha! Sure enough, I’ve had all of these.</p>

14

<p>This brought back memories! I had The World’s Most Interesting Man back in 1976 - he actually had taught my parents when they were in college, too. He taught Modern Plays, and had seen most of the original productions. Fascinating man, mild-mannered and humble, but I could listen to him all day.</p>

15

<p>Does “The Activist” remind anyone else of Britta from Community?
<em>awkwardly hopes there are some Community fans here…</em></p>

16

<p>That’s exactly what I was thinking, marshmallowpop!</p>

<p>Glad to see a fellow Community fan around!</p>

17

<p>I think I’ve had almost all of those. That’s so funny.</p>

18

<p>

</p>

<p>We have A LOT of those at my uni.</p>

19

<p>

</p>

<p>Oh man. That was my calculus professor last quarter.</p>

<p>While I haven’t had all those yet (seeing as I just completed my first year), I’ve had quite a few World’s Most Interesting Man candidates. One of them was a combination of that and The Hippie, which made for a pretty interesting class.</p>

20

<p>I had the world’s most interesting man for architectural design (poor guy - it was a class for structural engineering students, who aren’t very artistic as a rule). He was a pilot in WWII. Spent time in a POW camp. Went on to become an architect of some renown - he was the architect in residence in Williamsburg for awhile. He passed away a few months ago. RIP, Mr. George!</p>
