Asking someone else to state who was yawning during the lecture puts you just as much in the wrong as announcing someone bad grade on an exam, they both breach the individual's confidentiality.
Let me give you an example from his class that invalidates your assumption that he is "boring". He puts a seating chart of the entire class up on the screen. He then clicks a button that says "spin". It puts a red circle around a seat and then moves around finally "landing" on one seat. That person stands up and has to answer a question. That's about as engaging as it gets--everyone dreads/laughs at it. This lecture isn't that boring..that kid is an ass.
Nobody needs to yawn audibly like that. The professor was quite rightly objecting to the total lack of self-control which some people are brought up to think is universally acceptable. "Yawn outside!" obviously means "if you want to yawn noisily like that" - it seems clear that somebody had been doing this several times, which was rude and provocative. If you didn't hear the yawn, turn up the volume at the beginning. I'd have found out who it was and dissed him to hell privately.

I heard the student who yawned had tourettes, and his yawn was out of his control due to the disease.
That being said, it takes balls to insult and belittle a person with a disability; that professor deserves a medal for his courage.

He's a hotel professor. The chances of him winning the Nobel Prize in physics is....unlikely. :-P

@swawandoo That sounds like a great technique for keeping students alert. I commend him for it!

This is the dumbest news segment I've ever seen. TJ, you are completely wrong about the context of the yawn.
