BPS

Consider the following a first draft of my future study on Brilliant Professor Syndrome:
There are some obvious symptoms of this dreadful affliction. These professors probably have published works on their subject of choice which you wouldn't understand even after a careful purusal with a dictionary. They may fail to explain things they find "obvious". They may even have a language barrier and/or hardcore accent which makes it hard to understand when they actually are talking sense. The professor may even decide to completely forgo the text you paid dearly for, in favor of a large packet of powerpoint slides. These are sure signs you are dealing with BPS and you may have issues passing that class. Beware.
