I'm pretty sure my hottest professor ever was Mr. President Barack Obama. Either that or that one TA in physics freshman year. But probably Mr. President Barack Obama.
Can't really think of a hot professor, but in high school, I went to the only school in America where Latin was the hot language, because Latin was taught by the cheerleading coach, who was an aging but still cute 4'10" blonde woman, with the class tending to draw cheerleaders and drill team girls. This, naturally, drew a certain contingent of men as well.
It's not just over "hotness," either. I've had students get up in my face when they get a bad grade, track down my personal e-mail to ask me a question about the final because I didn't get back to them instantly, etc. Teaching in the wired world is exhausting.
Wow -- #3 on the underlying list is someone I knew in college and with whom I worked as a counselor at CTY -- Drew Uroskie '96.
ReplyDeleteGood lord. I'm...I just can't comprehend the boundaries issues some of these students have.
ReplyDelete#3 on the underlying list of male professors is someone who I knew in college and worked with as a counselor for CTY -- Drew Uroskie '96. Heh.

ReplyDeleteNever had a hot professor. Maybe tepid.

ReplyDeleteI had fewer hot professors, more hot TA's.
ReplyDeleteAnd I take offense to the comment that geology is the most boring major. Hello! Plate tectonics! Volcanoes! Carlsbad twinning in feldspar! THRILLING!
Suddenly, the reason why I have not been offered a tenure-track job becomes clear.

ReplyDeleteCan someone give me a heads up a couple months before they get to the survey on adjunct law professors, so I can hit the gym?
ReplyDelete(And so I can know when to lay off the Friendly's, Denny's, and buffalo wings).
ReplyDeleteThere is an overwhelming number of anthropology professors on that list. I wonder why, is it the Indiana Jones connection, perhaps?
