| 31 | i've had several good ones. probably the best was John van Alstyne (known on the WPI campus as Van A). he taught differential equations in such a clear, concise manner that it was impossible not to learn. i've tried to model my teaching methods after his in many respects. | Who was the best teacher you had, and why? |
| 32 | i've been pretty lucky overall. the one bad experience i had was professor ram-mohan, intro to electricity & magnetism, at WPI. he had a really thick indian accent. he compounded this problem by using a static-y, whistling speaker to amplify his voice. eventually i stopped going to the lectures. i passed the class with a B, but i really didn't understand the material the way i would have liked, and to this day, E&M remains my weakest area of physics. | Who was the worst teacher you ever had, and why? |
| 33 | i doubt it, but i really have no basis to make any judgement | Do you think that those Miracle Diet Pills really work? |
| 34 | two. and i still have them both. | How many "real" jobs have you had? |
| 35 | i'd probably give it back to McGuire if it were 61 or 62, as these would have particular significance to him. if i had caught any of 63-69, i would have sold them. #70 i'd keep, although maybe not forever. | What would you do if you caught Mark McGwire's 61st or 62nd home run? |
| 36 | less than once a month. probably more than once or twice a year. | How often on average do you get into arguments with people, either online or in "real life"? |
| 37 | an exponentially increasing population | What do you think is the biggest problem facing the world going into the next century? |
| 38 | yes. we recently consolidated all our non-mortgage debt on one low-interest credit card. we should have it whittled away in 2-3 years (fingers crossed) | Do you have any credit card debt? |
| 39 | bill, mark - and shouldn't it really be "10 or fewer items" rather than "10 items or fewer" ? i know i wouldn't say "10 items or 11" | Grammar |
| 40 | outside my small circle of friends, i had no interest in the rest of my class. | How is your "class spirit"? |
