We had a professor who used the word "effectively" very effectively! Once my friend counted that he mentioned "effectively" 14 times during a lecture!. He would say "Consider a given situation where you have to effectively consider a given situation...." going sometimes in an infinite loop. The same professor had a mannerism corresponding to that of a needle in LP records. He would nod and if you nodded back he would go ahead otherwise he would get stuck like a needle on an LP record. He also got his notes along which were probably written when he was a student so the paper had probably turned from white to yellow and then was on its way to turning brown. He would get several books during the lecture and shown diagrams from the books for himself to see straight but for us it was upside down! If we tried to quitely look at the title of the book he was referring too he would promptly cover it using a paper. When the key word had to be spoken in a sentence, he would suddenly wisper it so only some in the class could hear it. At the end of the class students would share what they had noted down so an ideal notebook could be created of the class notes.
