Professors and other teachers who have the privelege of interacting with Millennials may find this amusing…
Professor to Class: For tonight’s assignment, please memorize the alphabet and be prepared to recite it in class tomorrow. Any questions?
Which alphabet did you mean?
Is alphabetical order okay, or do you want some other version?
Can we use the song?
Do we have to sing? I’m not really comfortable singing in front of other people…
How long will we have? Will we be timed?
Will we need to dress up for the presentation?
I am learning disabled — if I bring a note from the can I have extra time for my recitation?
Do you have a grading rubric?
Do you have any examples you can share of how students have done this in the past?
I have a conflict, I am supposed to pick someone up at the airport and want to know if I can recite it in your office day after tomorrow about 2:00PM?
Is this part of our grade or for extra credit?
Is there anything more I can do for extra credit?
Will this be on the final?
