Mar 14, 2014 at 18:43 comment added dtldarek @ChrisCunningham I don't remember my exact response, but it was kind of easy - mathematicians are usually bright people and even slight suggestions come across, in such an environment even a small explicit rebuke comes off as severe. It was something along the lines of "next time, to make even stronger impression on your friends, I would suggest ending your pronouncement with appropriate bibliography". Not very elegant, but did the job wonderfully.
Mar 14, 2014 at 12:41 comment added Chris Cunningham I'd love to hear more about scorning the "let me show off" question. It seems like it would be tricky to do this while making it clear that others in the class should feel comfortable asking whatever question they like.
