I don't think raising your hand every class to ask a questions qualifies you as a gunner. Ask yourself this: Why are you raising your hand? Are you giving other people a chance to talk/shine? Are you agreeing with others or just constantly challenging to make yourself look good? The diff between the answers determines your gunner status. Cheers.

Ask yourself this:

Why are you raising your hand?
Are you giving other people a chance to talk/shine?
Are you agreeing with others or just constantly challenging to make yourself look good?

The diff between the answers determines your gunner status.

Cheers.

Both waste class time. In fact, the lazy bastards waste more, because the Prof. will grill them for 5-10 min. or longer. The gunners while annoying waste less time per class, and for the most part they actually do the readings.

I guess your spot-on entry hit ol' Gunner Browne a bit too close to home. A name like Parson Browne reeks of douchebaggery. I guess your spot-on entry hit ol’ Gunner Browne a bit too close to home.

In my experience, it is easier to hate than to understand. Seems like this guy is the asshatter. In my experience, it is easier to hate than to understand.
