Goodbye, spring semester, we hardly knew ye. Your professors’ most worthwhile closing remarks to beguile and make you smile from Spring 2009.

Caterina Musatti, Intermediate Microeconomics: “Let’s have a pleasant last class…which means you obey!”

James Shapiro, Early Shakespeare, after a student performance of Richard Curtis’ Skinhead Hamlet: “Now, go try that with a group of sixth graders.”

Solomon Mowshowitz, Cellular/Molecular Immunology: “…and to everyone…this class rocks.”

George Saliba, Contemporary Islamic Civilization, on the perils of foreign language idioms: “I still don’t know the difference between knock up and knock off.”

So many, many more after the jump.

Ovidiu Savin, Modern Analysis II: “It was very good year that you put up with me and that I put up with you.”

Jeffrey Lax, Judicial Politics: “The journal rejected my article, saying that it did not contribute anything to the preexisting literature. So all I can say is that I’m sorry for making you all read that piece of shit.”

Murat Eyuboglu, Music Hum, to the class he took over from an ailing professor: “It was nice to have met you all, though ideally I never would have met you at all.”

Jae Woo Lee, Advanced Programming: “[Say hello] if you see me around campus…or in Pinkberry.”

Andrew Nathan, Chinese Foreign Policy, explaining the “Blue Sky” policy for positive Chinese growth: “It’s the end of the semester, have a party, have a beer! What might really happen? Take the handcuffs off!” Then, on a potential “tipping point” scenario for China relations: “And then they’re going to start flavoring McDonald’s hamburgers with soy sauce, and that’s the tipping point!”
