At first I didn't like my professor. In fact,I found all his classes to be really boring.Then everything changed in the 3rd semester.His way of giving lectures changed,he joked more,interacted with the students more.Still he was not among my favourite lecturers.Then one day,I was daydreaming and he suddenly asked me a question. As expected I couldn't answer but it was the day that everything actually changed.For all the time I had classes with him,it was the first time he actually talked to me.He asked for my surname and even mispelled it a few times.Since that day he would often call out my name or ask me questions.Since he was really bad at remembering names and I was the only one whose name he remembered,I really felt flattered.This is when I started to really like him.One day as usual he had picked me to answer a question and he suddenly said "I dont know why but you are the only one I think about when I come in this class".I felt really awkward.Everytime he would ask me a question,he would say "when I look this way you are the only one I see".And once or twice he said how i had a nice smile and that it would have been great if he had someone like me to work with as my smile would help brighten his day.He always found a way to say my name,even smiling to himself and repeating it many times.However sometimes he would actually forget about me for quite a long period of time and when he rembered me he would say in front of the whole class "oh it's been a while I havent talked to you..I completely forgot about you".Then the cycle would continue always asking me questions or joking.And once when I didnt look at him he even jokingly asked "if he was too ugly for me to look a him" .Yeah I know that all of this may seem foolish,but I just wanted to know If my professor actually likes me..Not in necessarily in a bad way but at least as a daughter.I have really fallen for him and would never try anything with him and im sure he neither.I just want to know if he does like me to just have that feeling of satisfaction.
Professors who don't know your name?
Personally... I don't care. I helped teach some biology labs, and I was never good with faces and names. If they don't remember my name, so be it. As long as my name is on the exam, and the grade on my exam goes under MY name in the gradebook... I don't care. I'm there to learn, not to see how many names the professor can keep track of during his/her professional career. It could be that he really doesn't care. Some professors are there to do research. That's what they love. To do the research though, as a professor, they are expected to teach students too. As long as you get something out of the class, he is fulfilling his obligation. It's unfortunate, but college is a "publish or perish" environment... meaning if you don't have tenure and you don't publish, you get the boot. As for ones who do have tenure, what do they care?
What did my professor mean?
Mining his lectures means he wants you to pay close attention to what he said in his lectures and to use this material in your paper. If he suggested any other resources or references in his lectures, then he wants you to look at them as well. 'Mine my lectures' basically means that he considers his lectures to be studded with nuggets of gold (information) and he wants you to find and use as many of them as you can.
Does my professor like me?
Did he pass me just b/c I'm cute? My professor is french and this was a music class I was taking, I hardly showed up and I completely missed the final b/c I didn't know when the date was (I know. I'm a bad student) and recently when I looked at my grades (I didn't bother I knew it wold be a horrible grade) I saw he gave me an A. :-O what? He was a cool teacher, I know he used to always get happy when talking to me like his voice would change and he would compliment what I wearing often or if I did something with my hair like when I got rid of my highlights and went back to my natural darker color he said it looked good on me. And I'll see him now and then in the hallways but he's quiet around me more so he'll still say hi and perk up. He's moving to france next year. I think he's 34, I'm 20 =/
The thing about flirting is that a lot of people do it, but you are never really sure about the seriousness of the intention.Long eye contact, whispering in the ear, suggestive emails. This could mean that he wants to sleep with you. Or it could mean absolutely nothing, and he is just enjoying a more lively contact with you.In fact, if you think about it a bit more, why does it matter to you if he is “flirting” or not ? The only circumstance when this is relevant is when you are interested in something happening with him. If you are not really interested , he can flirt all day long but you won’t bite, so it doesn’t matter to you.So the question has to be turned back to you, and it becomes “what do you want to achieve with this guy?”, because that is the only question that makes sense if you are concerned about his flirting.Here, I think you need to consider 2 points. Firstly, it’s nice that someone flirts with us. It makes us feel attractive and to some extent desirable . That’s great for the ego, and we all need a bit of an ego boost from time to time.So if that’s as far as your interest goes, great, nothing much more to be said than that.(From the way you have constructed your question, it’s not offensive to you that he flirts, so I’ve not considered that particular contingency.)If your interest goes further, and you would like some kind of relationship with this guy, then consider the pros and cons before you take the plunge, because right now, you are the one that needs to decide if it is going to progress or stay as it is.
Is this a generic suck-up/teacher's pet question, or do you have a professor who is really failing to remember your name?If it's the first option, just do some mildly memorable things: small talk after the first class (where you mention your name of course), participate in discussion (so that she/he gets practice calling on you).If it's the second, some profs (like normal people) are just terrible with names, and take a long time to learn them. Some just do not care to learn your name. (3 months and they'll never see you again.) Sometimes (this happens to me) you're just too similar to another student, and so your names get mixed up too.
A standard form of his/her name. No need for Dr. or Professor.
Depends. I had a professor that had our names memorized in five minutes (we wrote info on an index card, passed it in, and he looked at our faces and said our name. From that moment on he referred to us by name.) He never needed a refresher, he always remembered our names and called us by them.Another professor never learned my face, let alone my name. He was teaching a smaller senior capstone class - just fifteen students. It was a male-dominated subject, so eleven boys and four girls. Of the fifteen, only five us really contributed to discussions, four boys and me as the lone girl. It shouldn't get easier than that to learn my name.Additionally, it was winter time, and the off-campus bus system was unreliable, so I would show up five minutes late and wearing a silly knitted hat. The professor always said, "Are you on the University's knitting team?" At least three classes, he repeated that joke. I stopped by for office hours at the end of the semester to ask a question, and he was standing at another professor's doorway. He thought I wanted to speak to the other professor, and when I said I was there to see him, he said, "I didn't recognize you because of the hat." I was wearing the hat he commented on week in and week out, and he didn't recognize me because I was wearing the hat?! I realized then he would never learn my face or my name. It didn't affect things too much - he was a helpful professor, and I won a department award for a paper I wrote in his class, even if he couldn't spot me out of the crowd (hat on, or off). It says more about how the professor's brain works than it says about you. I make an effort to memorize my students names before I meet them, and then spend some time the first day and practice the first week to memorize their faces to the names.
Is my professor flirting with me?
Creeper professor. of direction he's flirting with you. each and all of the indications are there. Now, do you opt to exploit it for a competent grade? it is your determination, yet by no potential enable it get out of hand, and you could desire to in all probability not motivate him in a manner that he will strengthen his point of convenience with you (merely proceed what you're doing now, i assume, and don't replace your reactions or flirt back). make constructive it is not gaining you a acceptance the two. which may be undesirable for you (and the professor), fairly considering you have some extra years left and while you're in a smaller college. And if it makes you uncomfortable, then you definately will could desire to take severe action (confer with him, checklist him to the faculty, etc.).
Is my professor flirting with me?
Either you don't have much experience with teachers or you just don't get it. He is SO flirting with you and it's disgusting. This is in college right? It better be or else it would be dangerous for him. What he is doing is so unprofessional and it's obvious that his sole goal is to get you alone at some point so he can ask you out or do something else with you. So this isn't going to get better until he gets that. It makes you uncomfortable, so I suggest that you tell him outright that you know what he is doing and that you find it unprofessional, etc. Next time he suggests that you two do something together "alone" say "I don't think that's a good idea." When he asks why tell him "Because it's unprofessional and I'm not comfortable with it." He might pretend that he meant nothing by it and be all like "Wait, what? I didn't mean anything by that! Did you really think that I mean something?" and make it seem like you're the wrong one. NOT TRUE. Trust me when I say he is outright flirting with you and it's not right. When he says that just be like "Then you should have no trouble with me not wanting to do so and so thing that you suggested." Good luck.
