Visiting Professor for the Humanities department. He teaches Economics courses, and generally assigns 2-4 homeworks a semester. I believe that the worst of those might have taken me about 30 minutes. NeedsRewriting, mostly put up so I can add the entertaining quotes.

According to tales heard at the ItrGames one night in Spring 2008, once let out a class 45 minutes early with the comment "Sorry class took so long today."

DavidLapayowker decided to keep track of how many times ProfessorPrag swore in Praganomics in Fall 2006, partially to learn Python GUIs, and partly because he thought it would be funny. Here's what he came up with:

"I'd love to know what a widget is. I've been teaching this shit for 20 years and I still don't know what a widget is."

"You have a bunch of really smart economists-- a bit of an oxymoron. OK, so you have a bunch of industry economists..."

ProfessorPrag teaches a class to SoCal? Edison a few times a year. The compensation? "They pay me enough to buy a BMW with one check."

"...and a bunch of podunk countries. Nothing personal against you, if you happen to be from a podunk country."
