According to twenty-two exhilarated Quinnipiac students, last night’s U.S. History Since Reconstruction class was marked from start to finish by constant hand-raising, head-nodding, and diligent note-taking.
Exultant over his new status as a populism expert, Junior Tom Courtney stated, “Not a single text was sent from 6:30 to 9:15. We really got a lot done tonight.”
Several others cited “a good night’s sleep” and “extra time before class to buy coffee and really get in the zone” as explanations for the exceptionally productive nature of the evening.
Professor Michael Chiarappa reportedly asked the class if they wanted to take a break, but the wakeful students claimed they were “on a roll” and didn’t want to break [their] concentration.
“I was stunned by how riveting the lecture was; the professor seemed really excited to be there and the discussion he led was one of the liveliest I’ve ever been apart of,” said an elated Katie Smith.
Regarding the content of the lesson, enthralled students spoke of enchanting “old white guys who won elections,” while Snapchatting excerpts from their “spellbinding” textbook.
Tales of the constructive evening include colorful descriptions of how worthwhile and utterly hypnotizing the lesson was and jealous pre-med students lamenting their science-oriented schedules. The consensus among those who experienced the legendary lesson was that they needed to take the long way home, as they were all “too excited” to go to bed.
