Taking up your suggestion, maybe this DOES make for a new thread? Or does not?
The best collegiate professor I had, History of Russia, was one who
allowed you on Exam Day to come into the room as early as the room
opened. There, the exams were available for pick up...but no one was
allowed to put pen to paper until 20 minutes after the official time
that the class started. Twenty minutes was an eternity...but the
point was the professor wanted to get you to THINK -
Then, damn this guy, he would give a question like: What started the
Russian Revolution? Then, he would downgrade you for a long, windy
answer.
What he wanted was a VERY few, VERY thoughtful words that showed you
had insight into the matter, and the ability to squeeze good thoughts
into a few words that would be memorable.
I think the twenty minute delay was part of his success. A bigger
part was his effort to make sure you THOUGHT before you opened you
mouth.
Whooooooops!
