For conferences, there's the ones who stand at the very back so they can easily leave if the talk is uninteresting/boring.

Listen, don't judge us.

Shhhh, don't spoil our secrets!

Back for me because I have a pretty disgusted, annoyed resting face. If I sit too close I'm focusing too much on keeping a pleasant listening face that I don't pay enough attention to the material and give myself a tension headache.

[–] Zoop 5 points 5 months ago

Haha! I'm the EXACT same way. I'm glad I'm not alone. I feel for you!

What a shit.

I just tried to get to the front, even beeing 20 min late.

I had to update my glasses while in university for each semester.

So I would sit at any of these seats. When friends reserved one seat in the back, I would take it but tell them that next time I have to sit in the front.

In my country students aren't judging people at such minor interactions.

Again, lemmy: Some piece of shut-your-mouth is downvoting me without a reply.

To this individual: You are hurting this community very much.

[–] Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Complaining about downvotes, that's a paddlin

[–] 7dev7random7@suppo.fi 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, because I am able to revert false opinions of mine, but lemmy has a tendency to downvote without teaching me. Opening up about my experiences is punished by downvotes without elaboration.

That sucks so hard.

[–] Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

Just so you're aware, I guarantee you no one is here for serious business and they certainly aren't interest in teaching anyone.

I wonder why universities classrooms are designed more like movie theatres?

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 7 points 5 months ago

You wouldn't be able to see otherwise

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 months ago

There was a time when professors performed burlesque shows to better teach their subject. The puritans got them though. ;-;

[–] COASTER1921@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 months ago

Nah the side rows are for when you expect the lecture to be boring or unproductive and you want to leave early.

[–] chamomile@furry.engineer 5 points 5 months ago

@fossilesque Don't forget those of us in the back row because we slept in and got there late!

[–] lime@feddit.nu 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

our uni had mandatory chemistry for all engineering degrees, even industrial economics and computer engineering, so naturally a lot of people had to re-take it. the registrations weren't done processing for weeks, and during that time you had to assume you were in, or you'd be hopelessly behind. that lecture hall was filled to the brim the first few weeks every semester. people were sitting in the aisles, on the stairs, in the window sills, two to a chair... it was insanity. i really hope they fixed that.

[–] huquad@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago

Had three classes (5 hours) back to back in the same room one semester. I ended up switching seats to break up the monotony. I started at nerd and slowly progressed to the back for sleep.

[–] Reyali@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

Yeah, I’m a second-row person all the way; green describes me right. Purple as a backup.

Thank goodness my college only had one of these kinds of rooms, and I was only there for a class about movies.
