| What can I do for extra credit? | There are no extra credit assignments or extra credit points in this course. |
| Is it true that history repeats itself? | No, but historians do. |
| Can I take the exam early? | No. We don't give early exams, only make-ups. |
| How do I arrange for a make-up exam? | Go to the Exams web page to find out. |
| Could you give me the e-mail address of the hunk/babe who sits on the end of the front row? I'm interested in comparing lecture notes. |
Yeah, right. This isn't a dating service. Introduce yourself, you coward. |
| Is it OK if I tape the lectures? | No, not unless you have a documented disability and the privilege of tape-recording is an
approved accommodation. |
| I missed class, so can I get a copy of your lecture notes? | Nope. Better do some networking with your classmates. |
| What's your dog's name? | Arnold Toynbee. He's named for the English historian famous for the historical theory of challenge-and-response. If you ask me, this dog is mostly challenge and not much response. |
| Is it true that history repeats itself? | No, but historians do. |
| I missed class yesterday. Did I miss anything important? | There are some sensitive profs who will say to you, "There is no such thing as a dumb
question," but that's not true. This is a dumb question. Think about it. |
| Hey, the stuff you talk about in class isn't the same stuff as is in the textbook. What's the deal? | Welcome to college. |
| Whenever I send a message to my e-mail list, I get a copy of it back in my mailbox. How come? | That's good. You get
the message because you are a member of the group to which you sent it. Your receipt of the message is confirmation that it went through to the list.
If you don't get a copy of it back, then something is messed up. |
| What was the greatest football game in history? | Oklahoma v. Nebraska, Thansgiving Day, 1971. |
| Where does Dr. Danbom get all those dumb jokes he tells? | If we knew, we'd do something about it. |
| Catch any big fish lately? | Not really. I've been jinxed lately. Check out the Bigfish Page. |
