When your professor says this…. he really means this…
This needs some minor revision. = I never actually got around to reading this.
My office hours are by appointment only = I like to get out of here early.
Ten percent of your grade is based on class participation. = I’ll be fudging your grades.
This won’t be on the test. = Nap time!
Bring the text to class. = I don’t have a clue how to lecture – we’ll just kill time with group read-alongs.
