the professor's comments are dumb (and the thread title is not really representative of what he actually said) and in the current climate they will trigger a gross overreaction that ends up making the experience bad for everyone involved."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

Originally posted by Darth Executor View Posti think the part about having to work like a machine with no leisure time is more relevant, what caused the actual outrage, and is a dumb comment that will set his students up for burnout (and thus failure).

I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologist

I mean come on, we're talking Cambridge one of the most prestigious educational institutions in the world. You can't reasonably expect to be allowed to slack off. While one should balance study and social (not that I'm one to talk, I only study these days), if you want to make a good investment into your future you had darn well be willing to put your heart and soul into your courses. That's basically what this instructor is getting at.I am Punkinhead.
