If you haven't seen it yet, start following @MSState_Prof on Twitter. Hilarious.

And no, it's not me.

Took a quick look and I'd describe him as miserable, not hilarious. However, I've never had much patience for anyone who complains about where they are and longs for somewhere else and doesn't just go...

When did professors decide they needed to be cool?

I always felt that college should be intended to prepare you for a professional career. Having professors performing late night comedy routines isn't very professional. If the kids that go to his class think that they can be cool and snarky once the get a job in the real world they are in for a rude awakening. His department head should nip that in the bud.

I would be curious to know what kind if class this Ivy League wannabe teaches. That is if I could even understand the course description.***

the most recent one about texting under the desk is actually funny. the rest are just a sad attempt at humor.

I agree that crosses the line. Someone that tweets at the official bagley college twitter "engineers are boring as f***" is not cool at all for a student, much less a professor.

Well, that's a picture of Freud as his avatar, so I'm going to guess Psychology, look for a new clinical prof. From his level of frustration, I'm guessing he is teaching at least one 100 level class, likely psych101, and probably a 200 level stats class. That is about enough to drive you to drink. I used to know some people in the psych department, but it has been 10 years since I gave a talk there, so I don't really know anybody at the assistant professor level anymore. I'd bet money this guy is no more than 5 years out of grad school, given his comfort level with the twatter, and his desire to have students think he is cool. Most of use that have been professorin for more than a decade could give two ***** if students think we're hip, we are looking for fear and respect, in that order.
