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.
