[alison-sky.livejournal.com]

Got a problem in your NaNo? Who doesn't?! But we've got a way to help!

Post here with your plot problems, and all through the week members of the community will scan through and see if they can help.

AKA - The best way to procrastinate is to help others!

So post your problem. Then take a moment to look at everyone else's and see if you can help them.

People helping people. That's what makes this community great :)

So have at it!

In between classes, my professors generally hole up in their offices and run their office hours, which means they grade tests and papers, meet with students when/if they come by (for help with papers, coursework, or general advice), and work on whatever research/junk they might be involved in. If this professor is a main character, you might want to give some thought to what his interests are in that respect (for example: I'm in English and Classics, and one of my professors might be sitting in their office looking over Shakespearean plays to write a book on the role of crossdressing in comedies).

As for an average day at university...um? Campus is full of people, outside smoking or walking between classes, often with their coffee; students flush out of classrooms in torrents at certain times when courses get out...really depends on what kind of details you need, I guess.

Ooh, thank you! That's very helpful. Maybe I'll have him running experiments on lab mice or something in his spare time (it'd make him even more hateable to me... he's a semi-villain).

Also, I'm gonna ask you since you were the first to reply. :) Do professors generally teach in the same classrooms/lecture in the same lecture halls throughout the day, or would they be hitting several different places in one day?

Thanks again!

At my university, they lecture in different classrooms for each class; however, a professor here only teaches two classes, three at most. (I think that qualifies as an overload, here.)

Anytime!
