WHAT YOUR TEACHER/PROFESSER REALLY MEANS........

Jan 29, 2010 by Mel_O_D
ProfessOR/Translation
You'll be using one of the leading textbooks in the field/I used it as a grad student.
If you follow these few simple rules, you'll do fine in the course./If you don't need any sleep, you'll do fine in the course.
The gist of what the author is saying is what's most important./I don't understand the details either.
Various authorities agree that.../My hunch is that...
The answer to your question is beyond the scope of this class./I don't know.
You'll have to see me during my office hours for a thorough answer to your question./I don't know.
In order to answer to your question, you must recognize that there are several disparate points of view../I really don't know.
Today we are going to discuss a most important topic./Today we are going to discuss my dissertation.
Unfortunately, we haven't the time to consider all of the people who made contributions to this field./I disagree with what roughly half of the people in this field have said.
We can continue this discussion outside of class./1. I'm tired of this - let's quit.2. You're winning the argument - let's quit.
Today we'll let a member of the class lead the discussion. It will be a good educational experience./I stayed out to late last night and didn't have time to prepare a lecture.
Any questions?/I'm ready to let you go.
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 50-questions multiple choice./The test will be 60-questions multiple guess, plus three short-answer questions (1000 words or more) and no one will score above 55%.
The test scores were generally good./Some of you managed a C+.
The test scores were a little below my expectations./Where was the party last night?
Some of you could have done better./Everyone flunked.
Before we begin the lecture for today, are there any questions about previous material?/Has anyone opened the book yet?
According to my sources../According to the guy who taught this class last year...
It's been very rewarding to teach this class./I hope they find someone else to teach it next year.
