World’s youngest college professor

[Moonbear]

Like totally, hold on I am getting a text message.

People should be fined for using the work 'like'...its horrible.

Like, people have been using "like" since before you were born! So, like, suck it up already and find something new to complain about.

You would, like, kill yourself if you'd visit my class. They use 'like' after like every like word like. You like know?

I also wonder how well she will do as a teacher. Maybe since she's in Korea, it won't be so bad since I get the impression they're pretty strict in the classroom anyway, but I think she'd struggle in the US. The reason is not only is she younger than most of her students, which makes classroom dynamics/respect a little more challenging, but also she has not had a particularly normal childhood and may have difficulty relating to the usual social dynamics among students. She might even be more easily frustrated when they can't learn things as fast as she has, or unable to explain details in different ways if she never needed to think about them differently.

Good point. We have a new teacher at our school who is straight out of University. She must be about 22, and I find that she is not able to answer some of the more wacky questions. She is only really confident in what is in the syllabus and this is extremely frustrating. Thank goodness she only teaches me rarely.

Thats funny, because I thought she said her PhD was in material science/engineering. I didnt know that was physics...

I think it is related to both Chemistry and Physics, I guess it would depend ont he degree as to how much is was related to Physics.

It is just scary how much must have gone inside such a small mind.

At my school Materials Science is a sub-physics major. Everyone in my school does it but I think it's boring no offense :).

To take from Gordon Ramsey,

"Oh, BLOODY HELL... BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP"

When I am talking to someone and they use the word like, I start to talk using big words nice and slowly so they hopefully realize their own use of the word 'like' non-stop.

Its like, for morons. Even guys do it all the time. I can't f'in stand it!

I don't find it that intereseting either. (But, I'm glad that other people do, because its very important reserach). Smart materials is what makes the future possible. Just look at plastics and how far they have come along. There used to be a point in time where plastics would fade and not last long enough to be used in all the products you find them in now-a-days. Bores the hell outa me, but still important.

 

[Poop-Loops]

I like physics.

*sees Cyrus running after him with scissors*

Oh noes!

I agree.

Hehe I'm going to guess your talking about my use of the term "sub-physics". I don't know what else to call it because the people are physics majors but on their transcript it says materials science so it's kind of like a part of the physics curriculum and is taught by all physics professors but it doesn't count as a physics major unless you take a few extra classes then they consider it a dual major.

No, I am talking about people saying 'like' all the time. I 'like' want to smash their face into concrete, after hearing them talk for 5 mins.

It's really that bad.

 

[RocketSurgery]

Haha yea. It seems to happen in my math class a lot. The people get so confused they can't even form the question. "Ok let me like get this straigt...uh ok like that integral thing...it's like a sum thing right? ...like you know what I mean"

Learn to live with it, it's not going away in a hurry.

Who cares that she's the youngest professor ever? Her accomplishments matter, not her age.

You're just jealous.

 

[Darkiekurdo]

You're just jealous.

You can see right through me.

Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself.

It was a joke. She has nothing I am jealous of.

Apart from tenure at 19, a black belt in some martial art and obscenely good musical skills?



Anyway, when did they start letting women into university? This is an outrage.

Nah.

It's more outrageous than you think. She's Iranian-American. She should be back in her home country covered in acceptable dress, making babies and kebabs, and not worrying herself with science and all those concerns belonging to the male domain. Shameful.

Wow! Really? You know when I was reading this article for my mom 2 days ago, I told her that her dad couldn't be American.hmmm...since she's blonde I'm assuming that her mom must be american.
As for what you said, hmmmm well the picture is not as dark as you said. The majority of Iranian parents want their daughters to continue their education , become independence...
As for spouses, I see that most of my female classmates are persuaded by their spouses to continue their academic education(getting MSc and then PhD)!
I guess you were referring to some (and not all)of stupid Iranian politicians' opinion's on women.But the joke is that even these stupid politicians don't want to treat the females of their families that way.
As for making kebabs, it's something which is done by men in almost any family as far as I know.

PS Thank you very much for sharing interesting articles!

yah, I was just being a smart-aleck.

My bad.

Cyrus! Go make us some kebabs!

PS Thank you very much for sharing interesting articles!

My pleasure.

You know I am absolutely starving now. This morning I read this, and then as I was just about to leave the house I saw a flyer stuck to my door. It was the menu for Tajrish restaurant. I m going to pig out on some zereshk polo this weekend!
