Astronomy 210, fall semester 2012
Cuesta College, San Luis Obispo, CA
(Overheard as student groups are completing their in-class activity (lecture-tutorial) worksheets.)
Student 1: (Raising hand.) "Do you want to check our answers, and see if they're correct?"
Instructor: "No, I don't want to check your answers. I want you to compare your answers with another group."
Student 2: (Looking down the row of seats to the next nearest group.) "They're too far away. Why don't you check our answers?"
Instructor: <sarcasm> "If they're too far away, why don't you just take a smartphone picture of your worksheet, and post it on Facebook, saying, 'Like this if you think this is correct?'" </sarcasm>
Student 1: (Beat.) "Why don't you just check our answers?"
