Gunners....

[adlai]

I'd never heard of the term until I got on this board... and yeah, it just clicks. How do you spot a gunner in a class?

So..........are there any good gunners?  I mean, are there any know-it-alls who actually do know it all and move the class along?  (which i don't think i would like either...too fast is just as bad as too slow)

they are much easier to tolerate when intelligent words come out of their mouths.  and, you can always count on them when the prof is like "anyone?"  because if they don't, then he'll pick somebody

so they do have some value.

Yeah--I always like the person who raises his hand when no one else wants to.  That does move things along, especially when the person provides a correct answer.

But inevitably I'm afraid something ridiculous with eventually spew out of their mouth

You see, what you're describing is the teacher's pet. When I think of a gunner, I think of some quiet guy in the corner who doesn't share notes and who absolutely destroys the curve.

When I hear gunner, I think Arsenal FC....
