The TA's Dilemma
Place: Your office in the department building
Time: 7:30 pm on a friday after a sophmore class of EC210: Basic Elec. Engg.
Situation (hypothetical): You are at your desk. On the left corner is a pile of 100 testpapers that need to be graded before monday. On the right corner is a stack of research papers that need to be reviewed and and discussed along with a research proposal that's brewing in your head. In the centre of the table are the books you need to read for the midterm exam thats also on monday. While you're debating which pile to deal with first, there's a soft knock on your door. 'Come in' you say. A pretty blonde walks in with the most beautiful smile. You recognice her as one of the girls in the undergraduate class you've just taught. She wearing the skimpiest outfit you've ever seen and is holding a bottle of champagne in one hand and two glasses in the other hand. You can't halp starting right at her. "Hello" you say.. you realise thats she actually very very pretty. "Hiiiiii" she says.
Question: What do you do next?
(Answer in the next post. Hint: We had workshops here that lasted a whole week to handle such a situation !)
