Professor Bias for Dummies

When I was a teaching fellow at a university in a western red state, I had a couple students who took great umbrage from a political cartoon poking fun at Rush Limbaugh I had in my office. They would sometimes spell my last name with a "K" instead of a "C" on their papers. Forestry majors as I recall, forced to take my class as a core requirement. Anyway, thanks to Blue Girl, I checked out this funny post that's a guide for students so they can detect 'biased' professors. Here's an excerpt that brought memories of that special time with my Nazi youth students:
