on the research project we were in groups of six, given a piece of paper with a phrase on it and expected to make a presentation.  Ours said "Bringing an end to war"  WTF?!?   We got an A but there were only 3 of us that did any work.  God that pissed me off.  My part was the role of Liberalism in the peace process. 


he totally dressed down a kid(smartass) that thought he knew everything.  at one point saying something like "I know what you're saying, I just don't agree with any of it.  This is what I did my masters thesis on"

major LoL's.

oh god, those are some of the funniest times ive ever witnessed in class!  one time last year some dude was reading the collegian and ramsay stopped talking and literally shouted across the room "young man!  take your paper and get your ass out of my class!"  he then started marching towards the guy.  the look on this dudes face was priceless! pretty sure he sh*t his pants. :lol:

Yeah I had Modern Era with Ramsay and I'm pretty sure he did something similar.  What's cool is that year I had so many professors that just look the other way or wouldn't notice students talking or gigling like they were just hanging out at the Derb.  Ramsay called their asses out.  It was very refreshing. 

Favorite moment I can think of involved Hamscher in 101, in Denison and he's talking about birth rates.  So this girl who's physically handycapped and a little weird starts asking about what people did before birth control.  Hamscher just kinds of dances around the subject, and tries to end it real quick and move on.  But this girl keeps asking.  I'm thinking "just say something about sheep intestines" I don't know how much they were used, but Hamscher doesn't say that, he's says something like "I don't know...there were various techniques?"  He keeps looking out at the class like some people don't get it, there's some of us in the back laughing at him trying to skate around this.  Finally he says, "I don't know...I assumed they used the ole'... PULL OUT?!?"  Whole class erupts in laughter, bell rings.
