Hard Core

Today, in my 2:30-5:30 lecture, we were discussing development of the human brain and how it can relate to aggression and violent behavior. We had all kinds of wonderfully color coded pictures, definitions of big biology words (like hippocampus and amydgala) and, at 4:30... the fire alarm.

Now, in a typical school situation, the teacher would get the class up and out of the building as quickly as possible. What do hard core graduate level class professors do?

Apparently they turn to the class and say, "I'm willing to work through it if you are."

LOL

So, he continued to lecture over the blaring of the fire alarm for about 5-10 minutes until our department's "Fire Warden" (it was really cute, he had a vest and everything), came to the classroom to tell us to evacuate.
