Chris Chu
From Rofflehaus
Some professors seek the opportunity to teach and enrich the student body; others merely have it thrust upon them. Such was the case with Chris Chu, an otherwise young and talented engineer who was asked to teach the foundation Computer Engineering course, Cpr E 210 after its regular professor, Charles Wright, died in a car crash in March 2000.
So the novice Chu was given the task of teaching hundreds of computer engineering sophomores, many of whom never touched a computer besides that beige box they played Oregon Trail on in grade school. Needless to say, Chu quickly earned the scorn of his pupils for his inability to teach and his erratic and heavily accented grasp of the English language, also dubbed, Chu-speak (is this the correct term? I forgot). Together with Ken Krumple, an engineering student has the opportunity to be Krumple'd and Chu'd in the same semester.
This man has huge balls of steel. No, honestly. He's not an idiot. He knows everyone makes fun of him. But what does he do? He shows up every day and teaches his class.
