My math professor is a serious nutcase! But also very amusing. He refuses to give answers to our review questions. And insists we work on them. People complain they couldn't see the board during lecture and that the webcast quality is bad (this means I'm screwed) and still he refuses to relent. Man.

The problem that you cite below : "it is impossible for the students to see from the back."

has the following solution:

LET STUDENTS SIT IN THE FRONT ROWS.

This solution is based on the physics of wave propagation. First, luminosity decreases with the squared distance between the board and the student. Second, the area subtended on a students retina by a letter or mathematical symbol written on the board also decreases with the squared distance between the board and the student. Third, the absorbtion and scattering, especially of shorter wavelength blue and green colors, by molecules comprising the atmosphere, increases monotonically with increasing distance between the board and the student.


ah. isn't uni life so exciting? such sarcastic professors.

dear prof. sitting in front wouldn't be a solution because the lecture is OVER to begin with! I am dead.
