No, but I know I talk too much when they try politely changing the subject. I guess I have enough social cues to figure that's a bad thing :P

Last time I got that, I was in 8th grade. I was talking to my friend. I guess I talk more if I have a close friend. I don't have any friends in college, so I stay quiet. I always hated getting called on by the teacher and doing presentations.

I pretty much do the same thing in business psychology. I draw, I answer most of the questions.

It's gotten to the point where the teacher's started asking if anyone else knows the answer -.-. But at least he's nice about it.

Even when I do wait for an appropriate time, she never smiles at me or anything like she does at the other members of the class.

I can be right and have talked in a good time during class and all I get is "Uh huh, okay;" while others get praise heaped on them.

I think she feels that if she praises me at all, it will lead to more talking on my part; but really, if she would compliment me occasionally, then I would know where my boundaries were and what topics were good to speak on and I would talk less.

I don't have this problem in my other classes; not to this extent anyway. She just makes me uptight and as a result, I make more mistakes when I'm like that.


Torch her when at the end of the semester when they have to give out the anonymous professor evaluations to the students. :twisted:

I'm so glad I found this forum, all of the previous posters sound like me :P
Sometimes I like to change it up a bit, in one class I always have my hand up, but in another class I never answer any questions; I just sit there quietly and set the grading curve on tests, leaving the teacher wondering "How the hell did he do that?"

Heh, this morning I swear I got a dirty look from a professor when I something. Pretty funny actually.
