Is this PolySci 204? Are you Professor Adams? Can I sit anywhere? Is the textbook online? What’s the WiFi password? Where can I plug in my mini Himalayan salt lamp? Do you grade on a curve? Do you want to pet my Emotional Support Animal? Are you allergic? Can I eat in class? Can I vape? Is texting my term paper okay? Can I save seats for my sorority sisters? When are your office hours? Can my mom audit this class? Why is the syllabus three pages long? Can I leave early? When is the last day to drop?

I’d love to know what inspired this. It’s great.
I’ve read a few articles about helicopter parenting and how some younger people are just not used to not being catered to. Also, I heard about (but could not find) a negative restaurant review that was all questions.
Paula: How did you know! It is exactly like this! (except for the salt lamps) And the syllabi are now almost book length!
Mark my words, the lamps are coming to a classroom or library near you! I’ve been seeing mini USB-powered models online.
