Astronomy 210, fall semester 2012
Cuesta College, San Luis Obispo, CA
(Overheard as students are finding their new group assignments at the start of lecture.)
Student: (Looking at assigned group chart.) "Do we have to be in different groups this week?"
Instructor: "You get assigned to a different group every week. Everyone does."
Student: "But I really liked the group I was in last week. Why can't we stay in our old groups?"
Instructor: "If you change groups every week, you will eventually get to meet everyone else in class. Don't you want to meet new people?"
Student: "I don't want to meet new people."
Instructor: "Who knows? You might get a new group that's even more awesome than last week's. Or are you the type of person who would rather settle for last week's group?"
Student: (Mumbling.) "There's nothing wrong with settling."
