Professor’s Instagram Takeover is Quite Meme-orable

Published by Mark Wolters on

For Illinois Homecoming 2019 Professor Mark Wolters of the Gies College of Business at The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign took over the Instragram stories to show a day in the life of a typical college professor. Here is what he shared…

Parking isn’t Always a Problem…

UIUC is infamous for having no free parking

Like most universities the U of I has a shortage of public parking, to get around this one must be creative, either take multiple buses or show up to work a few hours before class.

Rocking the Class

Best class ever!!!

Professor Wolters teaches BADM 320: Principles of Marketing and gets a kick out of teaching it. The excitement of completing another great class shows.

Students Kill Off Their Grandmas Like Henchmen in a Bad Action Movie

December 6 is the most dangerous day for a grandma

Students are famous for killing off their grandma whenever an exam is coming. And do not think that professors do not know your grandma-cide-i-ness. Be safe grandmas, be safe!

Late to Class is the Same as Being in Class, Right?

We see you sneaking in at the end there

Students do not always make it to class, but when they hear there is an attendance check or another activity they may show up just at the end. Now the question is, do they get points or not?

The Best Part of Teaching Are the Students

Drake knows a thing or two

The best part of teaching is when students ask heartfelt well thoughtout questions that drive discussion in the classroom.

Was There a Project Due? TODAY?!?!

Who wore it best?

Students sometimes act so surprised when they projects pop up on them. Eventhough they have had the syllabus since day one.

Homecoming is Here!

The streets have even less parking during homecoming

The instagram takeover was over Homecoming week, so the alumni were back in full force taking up all the parking and spots at the bars.

That’s All Folks

Sponge Bob had it right…

It was a fun takeover and there were many more pictures with students and other faculty, but these based on famous memes were definitely the best.
