Classroom Confidential: When Lectures Go Bad
We’ve all been there. The lecture on myosis continues to drag. Your Social Security-eligible professor drones on, reading the slides off his PowerPoint and you stare endlessly at Facebook waiting for your double-block to end.

Submit your bad lecture experiences to Lecture Fail at the Chronicle of Higher Education and help Jeff craft his SXSW talk (which we’ll be featuring) on how college lectures can suck less.
