"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

Powerpoint, Notes --
Where Would We
Be Without Them?

More from RMP:


A Political Science Professor:

Oh my god. I have been to two colleges over a four year span and this guy was the WORST prof I ever had. He forgets what his lecture is about, and reads his own powerpoint slides. Plus, his TAs do all the work and he is totally unhelpful. Got an A, but what a waste.

Look out for the powerpoint lectures.

He has to read his own power points - is a total bore - an academic stuck in his own head.



A Psych Professor:

Very unhelpful. Her teaching style is simply powerpoint everyday of class. However, she does not have good public speaking skills. Therefore, I made my way through the class by counting how many times she said 'um'...



A Psych Professor:

The one day she forgot her notes, she canceled class.
