There's a videotape of an University of Florida management professor lecturing to his class. I watched 25 minutes of it before I could figure out what the class topic was. He is dressed as if he just came in from mowing his lawn, he sits down the entire time he's talking (except twice when he actually lies down on the floor), he refers to his students by their shirt colors as obviously does not know anyone's name, he rambles on about Paul Revere, Ireland being boring, the history of giving someone the middle finger, his trip to Boston, an art museum he liked in Europe...He constantly makes faces at the students as well as making fun of them...What's even more amazing to me is he knew he was being videotaped.
Thanks to my colleague at Drake, Tim Johnson, for sharing this with me. I'm thinking I can use this in future teaching workshops on how NOT to teach...
