ABSTRACT
Some university and college lecturers may not always think of their students as being experts. However, students are likely to be expert in at least one thing – judging their lecturers. Moreover it is something which they appear to be able to do with considerable accuracy from glimpsing the ‘thinnest slices’ of lecturers’ behaviours. Why should this be so? In any social setting it is important for humans to be able to rapidly execute a wide variety of judgements, including the perception of the character and motives of another person.
