12 Types Of English Literature Professors You’ll Find At Lebanese Universities
Everyone takes English classes no matter what major you are and that is why you are bound to meet or have already met one of the following characters:
1. The one who cares 0% about you or anyone else in the class
They never make eye-contact with anyone in the class. They answer questions half-heartedly and are never in the office in their designated office hours. When you see them in the hallway, they will be sure not to make eye-contact or will even turn the other way around.
2. The Harvard graduate who thinks he/she is teaching a class of future Dostoyevskys
You better up your game in this class, because the assignments given are something out of this world.
3. The one with horrendous English speaking skills
“Za cAte iZ in zA hOusE”. How did you acquire an English degree, again?
4. The one you’re petrified of
Not even one sound will be made in the classroom while this professor is lecturing.
5. The professor who thinks they’re 25
This person will try to friends with all the students, and joke around with them. He usually wears a fedora, large framed glasses, and a brown suede blazer.
6. The professor who has never his/her shit together
Class starts at 11 AM, this professor will be there at 11:30 AM. They will walk in with a stack of fumbled papers, only to realize that they brought the material for a different class.
7. The professor who is swearing 24/7
Usually under his breath when a student asks a dumb question.
8. The nicest professor you will ever meet
Resembling your teta or jeddo usually, they always have a smile on their face and are the most helpful human beings in the university. Maybe the AUB registrar can take tips from them #latshe.
9. The professor who is writing his/her own book
They will talk about their writing and thought process more than the actual coursework. And if their book is actually done, you will be forced to buy it as “part of the syllabus”.
10. The professor who is so old that he/she actually lived in 19th century America
The good thing is that anything can go in this class. You could be full on having a KFC feast in the back row and they won’t notice.
11. The professor who is obviously not sober
Can you at least have a Listerine strip before you shove your breath in our face?
12. The professor who thought they were going to be teaching at Yale
I feel super sorry for this one.
