| Tell me what you like to be called. | Who are you? |
| How do you spell your name? | Who are you? |
| Please follow these guidelines and you'll do fine in this class. | Don't cross me you maggots. |
| We will be using one of the leading textbooks in the field. | We will be using my textbook. |
| The gist of the theoretical framework is what's most important. | I don't understand the details either. |
| Most scholars believe that . . . | I believe that . . . |
| Ask me that question in another way. | Try being coherent this time. |
| There are no stupid questions. | But there are stupid students. |
| You'll have to see me during office hours for analysis of that issue. | I don't have a clue. |
| That issue is beyond the scope of this class. | I really don't have a clue. |
| Today we are going to discuss a critical research topic. | Today we are going to discuss one of my articles. |
| Unfortunately, we don't have the time to study all the scholars who have made contributions in this area. | We will not be covering the work of people whose ideas differ from mine. |
| We can continue this discussion at another time. | This has nothing to do with anything you moron. |
| We can continue this discussion at another time. | Ok, you win. |
| We can continue this discussion at another time. | I have nothing else to say about this topic. |
| Today we'll let a member of the class lead the discussion. | I was busy revising an article and didn't prepare for class. |
| What did Piaget say on this point? | Did anyone do the assigned reading? |
| That's an interesting point of view. | What incredible nonsense. |
| You think so? | I don't. |
| 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 primarily multiple choice questions. | The test will be 60 multiple choice questions, 30 true-false items, 15 fill-in-the blanks, 10 short-answer, and three essays. |
| Keep in mind that this was a challenging exam | No one scored above a C-. |
| The test scores were a little below my expectations. | No one is going to accuse me of grade inflation this term. |
| I'll certainly give that some consideration. | Not a chance. |
| I'm sorry about your grandmother. | Wait till you see the make-up exam. |
| Any further questions? | I'm ready to go. |
| It's been very rewarding to teach this class. | I hope they find someone else to teach it next term. |
| You should probably get a reference letter from someone who's had you in more than one class. | Who are you? |
