Slippery folder

Some students recently experienced a special kind of introductory lecture at the Vienna Juridicum. They were given an unwanted insight into the professor's private video collection. He had forgotten to close a download folder containing offensive videos. 

One afternoon on a cold autumn day, students at the Vienna Juridicum are slogging through the tedious material of the first semester. But after a mishap, the professor was sure to attract the attention of his young audience: when he shared his screen, several offensive images opened up.

The professor should probably have closed the folder with the downloaded porn videos. The scene brought a few mischievous smiles from the students. The professor did not address it during the course.

Students see incident with a "wink"
Unsurprisingly, the law professor's hoppala quickly made the rounds. However, most see it more as a human slip-up, and the students in the lecture also tended to view the situation with a "wink". One student wrote online: "That explains why so few professors stream their lectures. Too risky ..." Some students immediately pulled out their cell phones during the incident.

The professor has not yet responded to a "Krone" inquiry.
