Have any of you, during anytime of your experience in a college/university, had a professor whom you thought repeatedly came to lecture, a bit "buzzed" up (not completely drunk of course).
During my first few years in college, I have come across several professors whom I thought came to lecture, more or less intoxicated. Now, I don't really mind that he/she take a sip to calm some nerves perhaps...make the lecture a bit more exciting, but you begin to become suspicious when a phD harvard graduate has problems performing simple arithmetic (probably because he/she had done it chronically), speaking coherently, and with a few short term memory lapses here and there (this was actually for a higher level biology course I took when I was back in Iowa). You know, they just have what appears to be a "I don't give a ****" attitude, and the whole course is simply a mess; there's no organiziation to the course whatsoever. From what I remember, I had later found that this professor had great credentials and experience (with a huge grant from NIH).
