1. You'll be using one of the leading textbooks in the field.= I used it as a grad student.
2.If you follow these few simple rules, you'll do fine in the course. =If you don't need any sleep, you'll do fine in the course.
3. The gist of what the author is saying is what's most important.=I don't understand the details either.
4. Various authorities agree that... = My hunch is that...
5. The answer to your question is beyond the scope of this class. = I don't know.
6. You'll have to see me during my office hours for a thorough answer to your question. = I don't know.
7. In answer to your question, you must recognize that there are several disparate points of view. = I really don't know.
8. Today we are going to discuss a most important topic. = Today we are going to discuss my dissertation.
9. Unfortunately, we haven't the time to consider all of the people who made contributions to this field. = I disagree with what roughly half of the people in this field have said.
10. We can continue this discussion outside of class. = 10.1 I'm tired of this - let's quit
10.2. You're winning the arguement, let's quit.
11. Today we'll let a member of the class lead the discussion. It will be a good educational experience. = I stayed out to late last night and didn't have time to prepare a lecture
12. Any questions? = I'm ready to let you go.
13. The implications of this study are clear. =I don't know what it means either, but there'll be a question about it on the test.
14. The test will be 50-questions multiple choice. = The test will be 60-questions multiple guess, plus three short- answer questions (1000 words or more) and no one will score above 55%
