medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Learning experience? The profs I personally know post howlers on their
doors to have a good laugh at the expense of the students. Do you really
think the students who are being made fun of believe this display is a
learning experience? The students I know whose remarks have been
exhibited are exactly those who are the most sensitive to being mocked.
For consistency, let me throw the first stone. Let's post howlers made
by faculty colleagues. Surely they will appreciate the learning
experience.

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and
culture
It's a learning experience for them. Virtually all these howlers arise
as a
result of students mishearing things in class, not doing any
background
reading and reproducing their lecture notes in exams and assignments.
Some
of us give in and supply them with lists of difficult names etc, others
are
not so kind.
