^haha yes I do actually go to Cornell…I’m taking HADM 1174 and you can ask me more questions if you need me to prove I was in the class.
I personally did not hear a yawn - not denying it didn’t happen, but I did not know what had happened until he started yelling at us. This class is held on a Friday morning. We are all exhausted from the week and sitting in a lecture that, to be honest, isn’t the most interesting. To top it off, this class is right before Dean’s which is why we are all wearing suits and ties and such. If you were a college student in this class, wouldn’t you yawn once in a while? I was also in the section he is yelling at, so maybe I was too tired to hear the yawn haha…
The TA he doesn’t believe was also the HEAD TA for the class…she said the sound came from outside the auditorium but he didn’t think she was right.
I agree - yawning obnoxiously on purpose is extremely rude and arrogant. I honestly don’t think anyone did it on purpose and perhaps the amount of students randomly yawning, simply because of the time/day of the class, caused Talbert to become frustrated.
