Quote from: Mary on September 11, 2005, 11:25:37 PMWhy is this so hard for you people to believe? Where are you from?Quote from: squarre on September 11, 2005, 10:47:35 PMI have had a few professors who will call on students 2 classes in a row. They sometimes do this to make sure a student doesn't relax after getting called on. They know just like everyone else that sometimes after getting called on a student feels like they don't need to read, just like you probably did, and calling on someone 2 times in a row early on can help stop this. For this reason I have no sympathy for getting claled on and grilled 2 classes in a row. As for the other stuff - if it is true and I tend to believe it is not - you should definitely talk to someone and get it taken care of. It very well might be true but the story is over the top in several aspects and on internet message boards this is very often a sign of an embellished or completely made up story.

1- I would be feeling the same way she is. You think being called on twice in one week for the entire class period is normal? How so giraffe lady?2- Since classes just started, don't you think it's odd that a professor is already asking her out to lunch when they haven't even gotten to know each other?3- What if the lunch date escalated into something more? Also, don't give me this bs about blind grading. If a professor wants to find out who a student is, he can.4- It starts with lunch honey.5- Why did he ask her again after she already said her schedule was busy or something like that? Don't you think it's odd that when she came to his office that he said it would help her situation if they went to lunch? I think that's an odd statement.6- Um, hello?? Who's going to come out and say that "I want to sleep with you!"I don't think she's sensitive at all.Quote from: giraffe205 on September 11, 2005, 06:54:33 PMPersonally, I believe that the she was just a little too sensitive. 1). If you get grilled in class and are unprepared, it's not going to be fun. She's right--it's humiliating. But this is true regardless of gender. He was just doing his job. 2). Every girl has experienced an unfounded belief that some guy likes her when really he does not. It's happened to me, as I'm sure that it has happened to you. Sometimes ppl just misread signs. Especially when you go from undergrad where profs go to great lengths to distance themselves from the students to law school where they treat you as one of them. 3). If her school has blind grading, as I'm 97% sure it does, he knows that she knows that a lunch date has no effect on her grade.4). A LUNCH DATE!?! If a guy likes you, he will ask you to DINNER, not lunch. Lunch is something that colleagues do. 5). I doubt that the professor would keep pushing someone who has already turned him down. It would appear that they are treading on thin ice and they could then be risking their job. Most sexual harrassment occurs in the grey area. E.g. the lunch was consensual but the sexual advances weren't. 6). If I am reading the OP correctly, the prof has never implied that a sexual relation would occur b/w the two of them. It's not like he is asking her out to eat oysters. Again, I just think that she is just a little too sensitive and is not accustomed to the change in atmosphere from undergrad to law school. If the prof really wanted to date her, he would have made it clear that he was asking her on a formal date--not lunch.

You weren't there, and neither was I; we didn't hear the actual words said, didn't perceive the tone of the lunch proposal, weren't there to judge how bad the alleged grilling in class was or whether it had a nasty or retaliatory air about it.
