43. Well-Programmed AI - Professors are People Too
Wednesday Apr 15, 2020
Wednesday Apr 15, 2020
Richard and Adam are joined by Dan Priel, Associate Professor at Osgoode Hall Law School. Danny, as his friends refer to him, taught Adam Torts and teaches a variety of courses at Osgoode. The group discusses this unlikely hypothesis raised by Richard: Professors are people too. Adam doesn't believe it.
Danny explains that students only see professors during their "performance", particularly early on. Adam talks about the shock and awe of sitting in Danny and Richard's classes on his first day. An unexpected question arises: Have you ever been hurt my students? Luckily, neither prof. has been assaulted but both share difficult moments in their teaching careers. What impact does attire have on the perceptions of professors. Can they wear a toga to teach? Adam interrogates his professors on the grading process, and much is revealed! Other topics include prep time for teaching and Danny's dream propositions for future seminars focused on Curb Your Enthusiasm and musical appreciation.
