I wonder if American can survive in this world without raising a single topic about the heritage.

Me too. Although my teacher unironically believed the Union was egging for war and that the Civil war was fought for economics.

this is grad/law school everyone

>Marxist professor says that anarcho-capitalism is impossible because there can never be a stateless society

i wonder if foreigner can survive without mention america for a week

If you're a mature student you correct the INSTRUCTOR after class has ended, you cringey little faggots

Is that your argument? You live in an important country? Lol

What did he mean by this?
I seriously don't get it.

I'm Italian I don't know the exact words, stop breaking my balls

my dad told a story that after he wrote his first book (which was about how the music industry grew from mostly self published artists in the 1960s to huge multinationals in the mid 1990s when it was written) he was invited to give a lecture on it for a business class at Duke.

As soon as he started his lecture a guy in a Letterman jacket raised his hand and asked if it was going to be on the test.

I mean, it's good to know the truth- but I can't imagine being woken up that hard.

This guy sits behind me.

my ME History class had a majority Middle Eastern/Maghrebi studentry. Perhaps I was paying very close attention because I was flirting with a qt Morrocan or paying attention to the professor for the entire semester, but no seemed very surprised about what they were learning. The secular history of any of the big three never seemed to trigger people as I learned it.
I go to school in NY. You?

People like that are far to common.

>>Girl says she'd rather go prostitute herself rather than live on the street

this I can actually understand. Someone doing whatever they need to do to survive.

You mean, a "meme"?

I assume you're talking to me. I'm in Manitoba. Honestly, things aren't as bad here as redpillers say it is. Yes SJW crap is a thing in Canada, but most of us are centrists. You gotta weed out the loudest.

Well, if you know German (as I do, being German) or Dutch, you could guess the meaning/concept pretty easily.

The Veeky Forums autists (actually had some sort of autism) I've had so far were
1. Black guy who might have talked a bit too much when it was clear the professor was trying to move on, but otherwise, was impressively knowledgeable about Roman history.

2. A level 2 autist cursed with a more dire form of autistic impropriety. A potty mouth that toed the line of tourrettes, "actually professor"'d the professor, but his corrections were often rephrasing of what he'd just said, adding tangengtial information the professor was aware of but didn't care to mention, or information so basic specifying it wasn't worthwhile to the professor's point.
I was on my gayman laptop before class. I still feel bad about saying this...but given it's backlit keys and Nvidia logo, it was obvious that it was for gaming. When he asked me if it could play games, I said, "Yeah, I guess it could. I just use it for school work." Oh Colin, if you were just a bit more self aware and less rude to others, you could've been quirky but likable. The "he's an autist, but he's our autist," of the class. At some points you did have others laughing with you, but you took offense where there was none given while asserting a force of personality you didn't possess into conversations it wasnt invited.

> Lecture on public law
> Prof is talking about how interest groups are interviewed when a law pertaining to their interest is being prepared
> A middle aged student asks "Why can't the common man lobby laws? Do you admit that law preparation is mostly run by big money and big corporations"?

There's this one kid in my class who knows like fucking everything about the Ottoman Empire and constantly quizes the prof on minuscule details about the different sanjaks and beylerbeyliks and shit

>Professor is post modernist, extremely against the concept of race naturalism and biological determinism
>Challenge him to a small lecture on the matter
>He allows it
>Do a few months research
>Give small lecture during class, go over the basics of biological determinism vs environmental determinism
>Crack a few jokes, get a few laughs, try to keep it apolitical by mentioning the biological determination behind schizophrenia, addiction, and anti-social personality disorder and how they are vary on family and ethnic origins
>Define the difference between variation and racial stereotypes, meaning there is a difference between the individual and collective variation, therefore racial stereotyping is still wrong
>Tell people that radical ends of the spectrum between environmental determinism and biological determinism are neither fully correct, make the case regardless of what you believe you should be open to dialogical discussion with people who are race naturalists
>Went pretty well, a few students had some questions for me after class
>Thank the professor for giving me some time.
>Was overall pretty pleasant

It went well

Care to explain? I'm googling without any sure hits

>At this moment, a brave, patriotic, pro-life Navy SEAL champion who had served 1500 tours of duty and understood the necessity of war and fully supported all military decision made by the United States stood up...

Why would it bother her to learn the secular interpretation of the rise of Islam?

>Girl says she'd rather go prostitute herself rather than live on the street
That is living on the street tho

You don't seem like the raving lunatics I accosiate with race realism. Could you explain to a normie like me what the difference is between your beliefs and that of a "/pol/tard"?

Does anyone here ever consider being a teacher? I've given it some thought before because I come from a long line of college profs and lawyers , and generally enjoy interacting with other people to help them learn, but I hate the idea of being couped up in a desk and staring at papers for a living.

Can any teachers tell me what it's like?

She might've grown up with a sanitized version of her faith's origin that didn't engage the grounded politics of early Islam.

Would like to know as well. Although I've some information from asking teachers myself.
Generally they say the paperwork can be rather exhausting, and the 1st year will be the hardest thing you'll ever go through, but then it's smooth sailing from then. That's all I know.

I have. Given what I'm studying, teaching one of the only things I'd be able to use my degree for, though I've had Veeky Forums professors tell me I should transition to law school.
My mother was a teacher and while she enjoyed it for the same reasons you've stated, the office politics of high school education in NYC led her to quit.

There is a difference between the individual and collective variation essentially. You can't negate outliers from the mean or vice versa , and thus using a nadir fallacy to describe an entire race or ethnic enclave is fallacious. That doesn't mean race doesn't exist and has not input on the individual, but unlike what /pol/ thinks it does not completely dwarf the individual either. I'm not a hardcore biological determinist, the environment and our own ability to choose still plays a large role in where we end up in life.

>race "realists" itt
fucking americans, the cancer of the internet

>Be me
>Be British
How this make you feel white boi? Not only that, but I vote Torry too.

I am a teacher at a uni.

Depends what subject it is, but I would say it works out better if you don't really 'try' to do it, you just kind of wind up doing it. All the best teachers (colleagues) I know are like that (myself included). I only came into teaching because a friend forwarded me a job opening while I was underemployed. It was to teach a subject up my alley (I had my masters and some years experience in the "real world"). I had never wanted to teach, but the money was decent (not spectacular, but decent), so I applied and surprisingly I got the job. It was only a 3 year contract, but when it was up I had a good referral and found another more permanent teaching job easily enough.

Before you ask, I teach applied linguistics and rhetorics, mostly to engineers and business students.

so i was right
you are american

I hate being that kid, fuck my life.

The point of correcting the teacher, or whomever is imparting the class, is to avoid misinformation. If you correct the teacher privately, after class has ended, there no point, because the damage is already done, and the correction is unable to amend that it.

Yea, the first couple years are a bitch. But once you know what you're doing, it's a lot easier.

Like lesson plans, something only n00bs do. At this stage, I just wing almost all of my classes. It helps because I am actually familiar with the material and I do tweak my methods now and then (each new class is a bunch of guinea pigs for seeing what works or doesn't). Of course I'll refresh my memory before I teach the actual class (the day before or the 10 minutes before), but I never make lesson plans anymore.

On the flip side, there is A LOT of shit teachers do that you don't see. Endless grading. Plenty of shit to do in summer. Lots of bureaucracy interfering with your curriculums, though this depends where you live... For good teachers, everything you read or use in class, they have read 3 or 4 times as much to be able to build up sources to draw from.

>Like lesson plans
I thought the professor had to give the principal/dean a breakdown of their entire curriculum, class by class, for the entire course?

No u

Depends where you are, in a highschool or uni or what.

I'm not a professor (in a formal way).

I mean, I have an official curriculum of course, which I use as more of a guideline. No one's really checking up on me to make sure that I stick to it. I've been observed teaching by bosses and colleagues, but it's not like they know exactly what I'm supposed to be doing either. I've always got good reviews from colleagues, and students. I could count the number of "bad" reviews on my hands, but out of hundreds of students, I think that's fine. Usually you can tell that bad reviews are more about a particular student's issues and gripes than they are about you, and of course bosses know this too. A snarky course evaluation means shit all when 95% of other students are happy

reminds me of the summer I worked construction and one of the foremen was this really ghetto black dude that used to fuck with me all the time and one day I mentioned I liked history and he just started spilling out his encyclopedia knowledge of rome.

not him, but I hate nazism fully and not in a cheeky "I hate them because they lost!" way, know the holocaust happened, think it was one of the worst events in history ect. yet I still KNOW hollywood and the entertainment industry in general in the western world is dominated by jews who use it to push their own politics

when did you realize uncle enoch was right?

yes but if you have to correct a superior you dont do in public to alienate him

>instructor

there was a muslim girl in a speech class I had. She was fucking adorable in her little hijab and she had a lisp too. It was genuinly cute when someone brought up wearing muslim costumes for halloween and she slightly annoyed said in a high pitched voice "thas cultural appropriashun!"

In what way was it not fought over economics?

Is this an edit of a painting?
If so, you wouldn't happen to have the ref?

>Eastern European history class
>Discussing the Western Slavs
>Polish exchange student raises hand
>"I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Slavs, is in fact, Wends and Slavs, or as I've recently taken to calling it, masterrace and slavshits. Slavs are not an ethnic group unto itself, but merely a linguistic group made useful by based Wends, a vital group thanks to which Europe exists. Many people users mistake Wends for Slavs every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the Wendish group is often called 'Slavs', and many of people are not aware that it is basically the Wends, a Central European masterrace. There really are Slavs, but Wends are no part of it. Wends are different, much more civilized and stuff. This is essential for you to realize. Slavs often include Wends, but basically it's Slavs with Wends added. All the so called 'Western Slavs' are really Wends."

i had a professor who taught the alternative anatolian hypothesis as a given instead of the mainstream kurgan/steppe model.

i asked him why after class one day and he really didn't seem to have a good reason for his preference.

>someone got btfo in a debate and went home and made this the same night

Sometimes I have to catch myself, because I want to ask questions I know the answer to solely to spur conversation about the topic. This happens a lot if we're covering Iranian history.

First day of anthropology the professor says that all biological difference between different groups of people is skin deep and that anything else is racism. It sounds like a pol charicature, but she started the anthro that way. Little annoyed about being lied to.

Friends with a Muslim in class. Brings up woke traditionalist arguments against western "liberation". Ruins it at the end by bringing up pseudoscientific claims based in Quranic(?) literalism about how the human heart can actually think.

Yo another Manitoba student. U of m I'm guessing?

>The point of correcting the teacher, or whomever is imparting the class, is to avoid misinformation.
You're assuming the person doing the "correcting" is not the one spreading misinformation, in which case the end result is only confusion and the wasting of everyones time.

If people wanted to hear your opinions on the subject they would be paying you, and not the professor.

I ain't good at the maths.

Do brainlets actually believe this?

He was probably a kemalist or something desu

Holy shit I go to u of sjw as well. What faculty?

Not him, but I remember being one of the creepy and racist works of a self-hating white dude. The pepes were black. He did a lot of similar ones but I don't remember his name right now.

>thinking of teacher as your superior
what a cuck

Biology. I wouldn't call it SJW though. Most people I talk to are normal prairie dwellers with balanced political views. The socialist posters recently put are for all we know run by a group of 20 people.

>Be that kid

Biology is a great faculty. Was planning on taking bioanthro and had my science cred with first year bio. I'm in history and Chem. Chem is fine but history has some pretty sjw professional. Sharron wall is blatantly Leninist comm. You're right tho most people don't bring out their views and those that do are uncommonly vocal.

This is sick. Never thought I'd encounter another Pembina user. Nice to see you're also a bio-nerd on top of that.
