Heeee.

Legend tells of a U of L prof in the CS department by the name of Chau. He was before my time, and I've been assured by more senior students that it's a good thing. He was the head of the department... one of my friends took a networking class from him. The final assignment was something to the effect of "Here's the protocol specifications. Implement a forking server and client. Use any language you like. I know them all." He also had serious sinus problems, to the extent that it sounded as though he was snoring while he talked.

Universities are great, aren't they?

Heh. I had a Prof. Wong for calc. The very first day he said, "No matter what you get as [the] answer, you got [the] Wong answer." Pretty funny little guy. Great teacher. My favorite saying from him is still, "If you get it w[r]ong, I beat you with a stick!"

My Doctor Wu story...

The Doctor Wu at my college happened to be a Physics professor. I took Modern Physics (aka Quantum Lite) from him my last semester. Did well, too, and he really liked me. He kept telling me I should go for a PhD. Probably the only person who ever said that to me. ^^;

Anyway, a friend of mine had taken a class from him a few semesters ago, and he once got on an elevator with Dr. Wu and a student who was currently taking one of his classes. She must have been worried about her performance, because Dr. Wu immediately turned to my friend and asked him what he had gotten when he took that class. When my friend said that he got an A, Dr. Wu said to the student, "See, if he get A, anyone can get A." (Thankfully, my friend was more amused than insulted.)

I think every college needs a Dr. Wu or equivalent thereof. ^_^
