Faculty
Some are gems.
Our dept. is called the coolest!
But you need to do your part.
"This is the last lecture I am giving you.
From next class on, I will only respond to your questions.
This course has plenty of readings. If you don’t have questions,
it is either because you have not done your reading,
or you are too stupid to be in this course."

- At the beginning of all his PhD courses
in Cognitive Psychology at CMU, Herbert Simon
used to address his audience this way.

"The brick walls are there for a reason.
The brick walls are not there to keep us out.
The brick walls are there to give us a chance
to show how badly we want something.
Because the brick walls are there
to stop the people who don't want it badly enough.
They're there to stop the other people."

- Randy Pausch
