Ahh, the question whore. There's one in
ev class.
Quest whores may seem smarmy- seething through the classrooms and putting a damper on you're collegiate
educat, but pipe down; there are pros and cons. Let us assess the 2 types.
Type 1 = the
quest-asking whore
Cons: They
usj sit
w/i the first few rows, and are thirsty for
knowl.
Aft ev sentence the
prof says, they raise their hand
with a worried look on their face and ask him/her to repeat the
explanat bc they didn't 'get it.' They are easily frustrated and discouraged which will
probs make your
teach pretts uncomft. This can get really annoying in an objective math/science type class. You may hear this question frequently: "Wait,
Prof ____, can you put that slide back up? I wasn't finished copying it." [Insert 50 eye rolls here]
Pros: This student can sometimes be used to your advantage,
espesh if you've skipped a few times in a row, or periodically suffer from
classouts. When they ask the
teach to repeat
ev sing quest and
explanat, it helps you get back on track. This also helps those who are too timid or
awk to raise their hand to ask for
clarificat.
Type 2 =
quest-answering whore
Cons: This student generally sits in the middle to back few rows. They tend to be either loners or come accompanied
w/ their posse of
d.bags. This type of
quest whore has the answer to
ev quest the
prof throws out there. About 70% of the time, their
ans is completely irrelevant to the posed question.
Pros: You can use this type of
quest whore to your advantage as well,
espesh in small classes. If you're in a class of
ab 12
peop and nobody did the reading, the
quest whore becomes the hero, and takes a few for the team. When nobody raises their hand to
partic, the
quest whore won't let you down.
So although they seem
absol neg at first, don't fret.
Quest whores can and will come in handy one of these days. Just try not to get stuck sitting next to one all
semest.
