A scenario in my class yesterday:
Professor: Does anyone have any ideas on what the advantages to using radio as a method of communication in development would be?
20 second silence from the class.
Finally, I decide to speak up.
Me: Well it can be interactive.
Professor: (pause). Good enough.
What? Good enough?? No wonder no one speaking up in class! I don’t think I’ve ever received a “good enough” comment from a teacher before. Most of them have at least been generous enough to spare the “that’s an interesting insight, are there any others?” line.
Good enough. Hmph. Plus, I would like to add, my answer was actually valid!! I mean, he obviously hasn’t listened to Dave Ryan in the Morning enough. Group Therapy, War of the Roses?? Extremely interactive. So there, now who’s “good enough.” ME.

it's late at night maybe, but i literally laughed out loud at that... good enough. reminds me of media ethics in undergrad where professor mazingo said to me more than once: "why don't you tell us what you really think?"
welcome back to school :-)
