The following page has been dedicated to my professors her at Valparaiso University.  At first I was impressed with their vast knowledge, and I thought I was learning a lot, but was I decieved.  Actually, I have found that teaching has to be the coolest job on campus.  All our profs do is tell us stories to try to keep us interested, and sometimes they are worth remembering.  So this is what the page is, to remember all the quotes from teachers here at Valpo.
 

Dr. J. - Dr. J. is the name of my Calc II teacher first semester.  His actuall name is Professor Johnson, but he insisted that we call him Dr. J.  He even signed his e-mails with it.  Well, as you can see, he has had plenty good quotes.

"If your lucky, you'll get to work with complex numbers when you get big."

"Not with your Integrand"

"Bing Bing Bing"

"It's like passing a law on income tax, people will always find a loop hole (snap of the finger) just like that".
(when talking of solving sequences)
"It's like puzzles, you know when you have those wire puzzles, the more you do the better you get."
"My problem is that your in my class."

Professor Hudson - I am a Civil Engineer here at Valpo, and this mean that I have to take CE151, CONSTRUTION SURVEYING!!!!  Let me tell you, its not that great.  In fact, because it is at 8 am, it cause most people to sleep through missing all the good stories Prof. Hudson has to tell us.  This guys isn't even a teacher, here is a surveyor in real life.  His communication skills aren't the greatest but he always has a way of making Stefan, Rob, and I laugh and semi-stay-awake in his class.
(when talking about how much the cap on a tripod costs)
"Its like those 10 dollar bolts in the Navy that made the news"
(when talking about setting up the leveler)
"Treat it like your mother's best piece of china."
"A Judge is dumber than a box of rocks."
"Time goes by so fast when you're having fun, except when you can't sleep at night."
"Not a metal detector you would use to find your wedding ring or your metal dentures with."

Professor Schmucker - Well what can I say, he teaches everyclass I take AND MAKES THEM IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!  This man was put on this earth to torture when talking of statistics and teaching mechanics.  Again, Rob, Stefan, and I spend most of our time in this class trying to understand what the man is trying to teach, but he does have his moments.  He is very smart and is one of my favorite teachers here, but still he make some pretty wacky coments.  I currently have him for CE215 Mechanics of Materials,  but I've also had him for CE202 Statistical Applications of Civil Engineering.  Well enough about the classes on to the quotes....
(when telling us to solve something on a calculator)
"I solve this part, while you get punched."

That's only the start.  With swimming ending in about 2 weeks, I'll have more time to update the page, so check back to here the quotes of the Valparaiso faculty at their finest.
