These are as a lecturer. And only really work in Maths.

Use both v and nu as variables.
Use the uncommon variations on as many greek letters as you can.
Mutter about higher level concepts unceasingly.
Write every theorem in as low a level language as possible.
Eat copious amounts of chocolate.
Use circular theorem proving.
Every time you make a mistake, claim "it's not my field".
Only give trivial examples.
Use the most hideous notation you can find.
Write everything in your personal LaTeX commands.

Things to do as a student:
Sleep
Text
Chatter
Laugh at the professor's unfunny jokes
Browse the internet
Start the homework due that class
Try to get class to end early by projectile vomiting on as many students as possible

That last one works for the lecturer as well...

I used to play Solitaire in French lectures courtesy of my laptop. Thank goodness I don't have Football Manager...

I've had v and nu used in same equation. And also eta (wrote bad) and n. But worst is having same symbol meaning two different things.
