Can we put out a rule right now that, after class, questions to the professor must be kept to a maximum of 30 seconds? I love when students who don't have a subsequent class monopolize the teacher's times with discussions, anecdotes, pontificating, and general ego-massaging that are the very point of professors holding regular office ours at the expense of the 4 or 5 students who have quick administrative questions that don't merit a whole visit to the professor's office.
I suppose a certain degree of the responsibility lies with the professor to moderate conversations and extend the invitation to come to office hours, but come on, fellow-students! Be aware of those around you and of the schedules they keep.
Random note: were I still at BYU this would merit a "shocked and appalled" letter to the editor of the ever-controversial Daily Universe. I take great pride in the three inane entries to that beloved publication I logged in the course of my career. Keep the dumb rants coming, Cougs!

I think I can say "Amen" to that (on behalf of my husband).
