When a professor assigns an article in which they are cited for the sole reason of reminding students how much they know. It can be one citation or ten, if they're referenced, you're reading it for class.
A: Did you read those articles for class today?
B: Yeah. Professor Smith was referenced in three of them. Total act of academic masturbation on his part.
