The class that I am sitting in right now seems to involve using as many multisyllabic buzz words as possible to say the smallest, simplest ideas possible.

Ugh. That sounds like mine obligatory "humanism-inducing" course we had to get every year at uni (you know, industrial designers, probably never in their life read even newspaper's funnies section, let's make them take high-school level philosophy/sociology classes disguised as something more! Let's watch them writhe in pain!). At least it's easy to pass?
My sympathies and hopes that it will pass quickly.

When the professor asks if there are any questions, you should request that he philologically reobfuscate his last statement.

I suspect the point is to use as many multisyllabic buzz words as possible to disguise A)the fact that you have nothing to say; or B)the fact that what you have to say is not worth saying.:-(

The downside of academia: the willful obsfucation of perfectly good English words.

So off topic it's crack!

Happy Birthday, Hermione Granger, wherever you are.

Dude, for realz.

I am doing my part to fight back.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! That's a great idea.

Oh, yes. Most certainly.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it seems to be a very common trait throughout all humanities/social sciences, alas.
It's probably about half-way over by now!

Fight on!
