please, just don't be openly retarded. I can't pretend not to notice your idiocy when you make no effort to hide it. If you want to mentally take the day off, go ahead. It's day one and I don't invest in you until the 10 inevitable drops have dropped, so you won't miss much. But if you do that, lay low for the rest of the day.
When I hold up the textbook and say "This is the book you're looking for." and then I hold up another and say "Not this one. This one was ordered by accident." and field questions for three full minutes about the textbook, and I ask if there are any more questions about the textbook, and you don't ask any, and three minutes have been spent on the topic, three minutes on "Buy this. Don't buy this.", three minutes on something my cockerspaniel could understand, plus an opportunity to spend even more time on it... If you come up to me after class and indignantly pitch a fucking fit because "I thought you said we didn't have to buy the book but this [use Diva wrist flip to flick syllabus in my face] says the homework comes out of the book. [tap on relevant passage with press-on nails, while looking down at rhinestone studded blackberry instead of lowering yourself to bother making eye-contact through this exchange]" you're not just going to look like the spoiled, ignorant bitch you must enjoy portraying, but you also look like you're seriously retarded. I now have no interest in you and you will be at the bottom of my priority pile for the next 17 weeks. Good luck.
This used to be called "listening with half an ear"; now, unfortunately, it's what passes for listening of any kind, at least by some students. And you even used visual aids! So much for the supposed efficacy of that approach.
