Whos told their professors about PF? Anyone? 
Sharing PF with Professors: A Trend Among Students?
- Thread starter Greg Bernhardt
- Start date
In summary, the conversation discusses whether anyone has told their professors about the online forum PF (Physics Forums). One person mentions telling a couple of professors and using the fact that well-known physicists also post on the forum to encourage them to join. Another person mentions not having a professor currently but has shown 2 professors the forum in the past. The conversation also includes a humorous comment about wanting to keep their post count at a specific number.

Why would we do that? They would come here to see who did our homework for us... just look at the math forum, one guy posted a take home test; seriously.
Just realized my post count is 420

I've told a couple. They never posted, but this will remind me to get on their cases. Now that Carlo Rovelli and John Baez post here, I can say to them, "Come on, all the cool kids are doing it. You don't want to be square, do ya?"

I don't have a professor, but I'm in intermittent contact with one, depending on my scholastic endevours. I have shown 2 professors, however.
