[Vocabulary] Ways of saying goodbye by a lecturer

[englishhobby]

What are the appropriate ways of saying goodbye to students by a university lecturer/professor?

Are "See you later" or "Bye for now" too informal? What are the most appropiate expressions? (Maybe you could suggest some humorous phrases too?)

 

[emsr2d2]

Do you mean simply saying goodbye at the end of a lecture or at the end of the academic year? If it's just the end of the class/lecture, I would expect a simple "Bye", "See you next week" or something similar. Those would suffice unless the university itself has some kind of "goodbye" code of conduct for its lecturers.

Yes, I meant saying goodbye at the end of a lecture/seminar/practical lesson. Are there any idioms, some original phrases that could be used before you say "Bye" like "Let's call it a day" or "It's time we finished our class". (I need to use such phrases as part of communication with students which is often not very formal in my class.)

 

[Raymott]

My experience is that lecturers do not say goodbye. They say something that indicates that the lecture is over, and usually remind students when the next is:
"We'll take up this theme again next time."
"That's all the time we have for Kant. We'll start on Hegel on Monday."
"See you next Wednesday."

Can I suggest you google "lecture youtube"? Then just watch the last few seconds of a dozen official lectures. You'll get a good idea of what is said.

That's it for today.

Unfortunatelly, I learned English at school just for a year but I remember our teacher saying "Bye". And sometimes he finished a lesson with something like "Ite, missa est."

 

[Rover_KE]

He must have had a quirky sense of humour. Did you understand it at the time?

Not many would understand it now.

 

[Johnyxxx]

Yes, I understood it, because he told us immediately what it meant.
