First Day of Class... What is your approach?

Most of my classes are between 50 and a bit over 400 people. I tend not to ask questions outside of the weekly discussion/seminar, and even then only if I need something clarified, unless it actually is a topical discussion (a real rarity).

Just go with the flow for the first week

[QUOTE="juden41"]Oh ok, I see how the story is playing out. So female Bianca has masculine urges, gives into them, gets a sex change operation, becomes more male, feels like that's what she really is, goes to the Danish state officials, changes Bianca to Nadja, and that's that. I'm wondering how many bottles of hormone have accumulated thanks to you. Not transgender. But what's the word I'm looking for? Maybe it is transgender. Intersexual?BiancaDK

oh no, here's how it goes

female bianca doesn't exist outside of female nadjas warped mind, who in turn doesn't exist out of my warped mind

have you seen lars and the real girl?

"Lars and the Real Girl is a 2007 American-Canadian comedy-drama film written by Nancy Oliver and directed by Craig Gillespie. It stars Ryan Gosling, Emily Mortimer, Paul Schneider, Kelli Garner and Patricia Clarkson.The film follows Lars(Gosling), a sweet yet quirky, socially inept young man, who develops a romantic relationship withan anatomically correct sex doll, a "RealDoll" named Bianca, and the story of how his older brother (Schneider), his brother's wife (Mortimer), and the rest of the small town grow to accept and welcome Bianca intothe community for Lars' sake, not realizing that she would touch all of their lives in such a profound way."

lars is me
biancadk is bianca
the community is gamespot off-topic, who eventually accepted bianca into their small town by voting her queen of OT, which in symbolism is true to the movie plot

due to a slight error in judgment, i had to create nadja in order to make bianca believable again, but beyond that added notion, it's not that complex

there never really was a bianca, there was a nadja, pretending to be bianca, pretended by meBiancaDK

That seems elaborately unnecessary, don't you think? supa_badman

Nadja's birthday showed up on my facebook sidebar yesterday. Assuming that you used your actual birthdate on that account: Happy late birthday, bro.-Toshy-

Find a seat, usually at the back or front (generally not in the middle), and keep to myself mostly. I don't really talk to anyone if I don't already know them.

I don't have an approach. If an instructor asks a question and no one answers, I'll simply answer the question if I know it. I won't even bother raising my hand. I'll just blurt the answer out. I'm not in class to waste time. The quicker the answer is said, the quicker we can move on.

When I was in college I'd just keep my mouth shut and listen to what the professor's had to say. If they remember me it's because I got top grades, not because my mouth was always going.

I' m generally shy and rarely participate especially in a huge class in college. Nevertheless professors tend to like me. I guess it' s because I look like a nice guy. And I am by the way. It all depends on my mood. I may raise my hand from time to time or just pay close attention on what is discussed about.
