Gateman’s Econ 101
Nov 27th, 2011 by kiely
During the process of choosing my classes and professors I learned about Prof. Gateman. He is likely the most infamous professor in the Faculty of Arts. I will admit that his class was tough, his midterms tougher, and I can’t even imagine what his final will be like, but I consider him a great professor. By the end of the term I learned that he is just tough on us because he is confident we are the brightest young minds in the country and that we can handle almost anything. He ended his last lecture with this, saying that he will be happy if this is all we take away from his class:
“You attend the best school in the best city in the best country in the world. Be confident in your ability but approach everything with a heavy sense of humility because everyone here is just as intelligent as you. Assume nothing.” – R. Gateman
I like that quote (even though I find the first part to be both not necessarily true and ironic) 🙂 It’s a good way to end the class 🙂
