How to look like a genius?

So I have an important presentation tomorrow. I asked my tutor how to get a good grade and he said: "You must convince the professor that you're brilliant. Try to appear like a genius."

So what are the c0r's suggestions on how I can make myself look really intelligent?

glasses & long words. That's the cromulent way to do it.

Study the material and always be the first person to raise your hand and obnoxiously answer every question the teacher asks before anybody else has a chance to.

Ehm, it's a presentation. I'll be the only one the questions are directed at.

even better!

I'll break your bones, tie you to a wheelchair and whisper random pieces of information in a robotic voice whenever you turn your head to the left.

So glasses, a wheelchair and using long words. Sound like a plan...

My advice still stands.

Mess your hair up and wear a lab coat.

Yeah, this thread is totally serious.

Seems like the internet is indeed some damned serious business.

Maybe you should go fuck yourself if you don't like it.

Soundly belittling everybody in your immediate vicinity.

Probably the worst possible advice. Good advice to look smart, but also good advice for making you look like a dick. I have a kid in one of my classes who sits front and center and does this, and I think I'm about on the same level with him, but he raises his hand for EVERYTHING. Classes are for learning, not doing everything possible to raise your grade. By answering every question before the slower people in the class have even digested the question, you're robbing them of their education imo. I only generally answer the questions no one else is getting. Still makes you look smart and like you know your shit, but without being an obnoxious prick about it.

So the stupids stay stupid, and you make yourself look like an over-achieving pedantic asshole. Since the entire notion of genius is a comparative concept, I'd say that plan has a pretty high chance of success.

You mean something like:

"Could you again explain the concept behind xyz, I didn't quite understand it yet?"
"Sure, I'll try to speak slowly and use shorter words this time."
or maybe
"Are you an idiot?"

I have always been fond of "Is that a serious question?" because it often creates an uneasy silence immediately after, as though I am saying something profoundly defamatory.

Whats the presentation on? It's all about how you present the content. Try to sound as if what you're saying is fascinating.

Rofl, valid point. Now that I think about it, thats a fucking great idea if the class is graded on a curve

Don't use notes or index cards.
