Hello lovelies!!
Ever met a professor who is always probing for perfection??
Well I had a professor who was on her toes to assassinate us for every small mistakes. eg. While we used to make our dilutions, she used to take the rounds and if anybody is caught pipetting with his hand in the air, she used to hold the hand and bang it on the table shouting
"ELBOW ON THE TABLE WHILE YOU PIPETTE, I DON'T WANT ERRORS IN THE DILUTION".
So back to the original story. On the journal checking day, we are always dreaded even after checking it 1000 times ourselves. This professor used to check our Medical Microbiology journals. The first girl who went for checking had not written the capital S for Streptococcus, instead she wrote streptococcus. That's it! Sky came crashing on her when the professor started shouting. Being an over smart girl she made it worse arguing that it is a capital S. This fueled the professor more and she stood up to ask everyone if the S was capital or small. We were too scared to open our mouth and that's when she punished the entire batch to write capital and small letters A-Z.
Yeah, too embarrassing.
But I guess it has helped me in the long run. Because till date I write the microbial names in the correct pattern,and never forget to underline the names too. And I do miss her a lot:)
If you have any similar professors, do share your story with us.
Lots of Love and be amazing!!
