The most IT-savvy prof I've met..

Wah, I really like my ECON326 prof. Erm, actually I don't know yet, because I seem to be having trouble with the material, a little bit..

But he very the cute! *not in terms of appearance though* I think he is so IT-savvy it's hard to find someone like that around who is equally academically-savvy. (Read: Most profs don't handle websites as good as he does.)

He has a nice webpage which even includes a FAQ section for the course, because he's probably used to millions of emails flooding in during the first week of class..

And I just checked it and he posted this:

The password protection of this course web page will be activated next Thursday afternoon. This allows me to post on this page some sensitive information such as your homework grades. Once the password protection is activiated, you will need an account to access this web page after that. Please create your account by filling out the registration form now.


Wow, who actually knows how to create this kind of form?? It was pretty decent.. And "activating" a "password pretection course webpage" sounds pretty technical to me.. Hahaha! Somemore he has drop-down lists for past handouts and assignments.. So pro~~ Where to find a prof like that?

He posts notes and assignments so far ahead it's really impressive! First assignment due this coming Thursday and he already posted the second one due the next Thursday! Don't tell me he just lives in front of computer all day long!~

And if you read the whole website carefully he has some spelling errors here and there. I'm usually rather anal about spelling mistakes but in this case it's actually rather cute! Somemore he refers the TA to "Mr. Huang Ce".. Such respect he has for a TA, addresing him as MISTER! Usually profs don't give a poo about them, and half the time we don't know the gender of the TA because they mostly tend to hail from Mainland China and only has two words to their name!

I hope this course turns out well and with the above paragraphs typed in such a light-hearted mood I do hope I can stay motivated and do well! Now, before I go off to tackle the first assignment of his *gasp* on a Saturday night, no less *gasp gasp*, I leave you a picture of my IT-proficient prof:
