My Favorite One-Liners: Part 57

In this series, I’m compiling some of the quips and one-liners that I’ll use with my students to hopefully make my lessons more memorable for them.

Every once in a while, students will ask my procedure for grading their exams. So I’ll tell them, tongue in cheek, that I go home so that I could have some movie playing in the background that would get in the proper mood for grading… something like Braveheart, Gladiator, or The Godfather.

For some reason, students don’t find this terribly reassuring.
