My girlfriend was taking a psychology course last semester at a certain University...she is a psychology major (please do not comment on that..hehe) and this was one of the intermediate course, something like psych290...well anyway to the point.
Their professor was an old stiff. He lectured in a monotone, standing by the podium with his hands clinched to it at the front. She says he looked mighty unhappy. Anyways, at the beginning of the semester the whole class decided to change the professor with positive reinforcement (psychological mombojambo).
So each time the professor moved his heands of the podium for whatever reason the class would perk up and they would get into the discussion by askiing questions and excitement. Throughout the semester their experiment was such a success that they managed to "move" the professor from the podium, to the entrance door!! his hands folded leaning on the side, and a big smile. last week of classes the word got out, and the professor found out what his pupils where doing...He gave C's to the people who deserved A's and so on...
so what do you think?
