<p>Sure, students should be respectful of their classmates and not waste their time by asking one question + two follow ups every lecture. Then again, the professor should also be able to use some common sense and realize he’s going off tangent and cut himself off before he wastes 30 minutes. Some professors do this, others don’t. Some professors’ faces light up when the “brownosers” ask slightly off-topic/intriguing questions, other professors feel the way you do and just want the kid to shut up. It’s partly the student’s fault, but yeah it’s the professor’s as well that your class time has been ruined.</p>
<p>I would think that if a student truly wanted to “brown-nose”, he/she wouldn’t waste time nor ask stupid tangential questions, but rather ask good questions which would render him/her as relevant and smart. The brown-nosers who you complain about probably aren’t liked by the professor anyway. If the professor is playing the brown-noser’s game, maybe you don’t realize that their words are actually important. Either that, or some professors enjoy being stroked, which would definitely annoy me too. In that case I would consider the professor equally annoying.</p>
<p>Professors love being stroked. C’mon now. How many people in your classes ask questions? They depend on these brown-nosed people so that they don’t have to lecture the full time/stare into the emotionless/“I-don’t-give-a-****” faces of students.</p>
<p>^^ stop saying brown nosed hahaha</p>
<p>Seriously, professors usually complain that no one goes to office hours. I think the asskissers are the ones with the balls to do whatever it takes to impress the prof and I respect that to a point. </p>
<p>Personally I only ask questions when I really need something clarified but these people don’t bother me at all. That dude sitting in front of class wearing tight beige slacks and a button up pin stripe shirt with a vest on or a sweater tied around his neck is going places and will probably be your boss one day because sadly, asslicking is a fast way to move up in the corporate structure.</p>
<p>I want Urkel as a boss.</p>
<p>LOL try being a business major</p>
<p>^ is it really that bad? I can’t decide what i want to major in, and haas is one of my options…</p>
<p>if you’ve taken ugba10, you know those annoying kids that always raise their hand in section just so they can spew some bull</p>
<p>now imagine that all those kids got into haas, and all the classes are graded on a curve</p>
<p>well i’m enrolled for ugba in the fall… we’ll see…</p>
