Don't be affriad to ask anything that you want to know, it's a bit hard to help more specifically since we dont know what your doin and yeh try to address them by their title till they say they dont mind being called by something else.

You dont have to ask them anything super intelligent you could make yourself look worse or stupid if you do and screw up. Ask tell them about research opportunities, tell them about your major and why your doin it if they ask, etc. Just be friendly and try to socialise with them it's not like their gonna rip your head off or anything.

they won't really remember you

 

[Doomah]

the course i am going to is pretty small, so yeah i think they will remember me....

i really got nothing to say to them, other than just to introduce myself and talk about the weather.

do some research so you know what you're talking about
Dont say stupid shit like "is the course good"
If you're not sure, just say hi, introduce yourself and say you're looking forward to the course.

^^Yeah that's really all there is to it. Chances are they won't remember you unless they're your tutor or you're forever coming to them asking questions for assignments or something. Or if you have < 30 people in your course.

Totally gotta ask them who they think is going to win in the nrl this year

 

[Evilo]

oo and dont ask them what 'textbooks' are needed, they cover this in the first lecture - and you'll be the 9,873rd person to ask them.

"I give great head" ?

Not really sure what you want to achieve, they'll see hundreds of thousands of students, and they really couldn't give a rats ass about you till you start doing honours/postgrad, and they can rake in the moneyz

 

[Conspirocy]

Is $20 enough for a HD, or do you charge $50?

And do you prefer stapled money, or bulldog clips?

i lol'd

I did one of those sniff laughs. You know, an acknowledgement that it's funny but not really ha-ha funny.

Ask them about their research.

Seriously, Professors love to talk about their research. Even gay stuff like chemistry education.

ITT we learn how to socialise.
