Dr. Jay-isms

One of Dr. Jay Ramanathan’s students wrote that after a semester in Dr. Jay’s class, they all noticed, there were certain key phrases lurking in the background throughout the semester. These aren’t just your garden variety phrases either. In fact, several students have started partaking in the madness by utilizing these phrases on their own. So, just for a lark, we’ve put together a list of Dr. Jay-isms that we have had the privilege of picking up this term.
Thank you Dr. Ramanathan for a great semester!
