3	Ted teaches a class to Barney about how to satisfy Robin in a relationship, and Marshall tries to get rid of his old barrel, Mabel.
4
5	Barney finds it hard to adjust into a serious relationship with Robin, as his bachelor impulses (fleeing after sex as if it was a one-night stand, not listening to Robin's problems and only talking to her when she's in the mood for sex) still take over. However, Barney starts to make uncharacteristically romantic gestures such as making Robin breakfast in bed (pancakes with [[MooseAndMapleSyrup Maple Syrup]]), which makes Robin suspect that Barney is cheating on her.

7	Marshall admits he knew the real reason behind the notebook and Barney staying late: Ted is giving lessons to Barney at his classroom in Columbia
8	----
9	!!This episode provides examples of:
10	* AttentionDeficitOohShiny:
11	-->'''Barney''': They said I had AD...something. Can we have class outside?
12	* BlatantLies: Marshall couldn't keep Mable due to Lily's supposed allergy to barrel resin.
13	* BreakfastInBed: When Barney starts doing uncharacteristically romantic things for Robin, including giving her breakfast in bed, Robin suspects that Barney is cheating on her.
14	* BrickJoke: Ted mixes in a slide from his architecture lecture into one of his Robin 101 lectures to Barney, and in TheStinger, shows an EmbarrassingSlide of Robin to his class.
15	* DoubleTake: When Robin arrives just in time for Ted to talk about her BlanketTugOWar peeve, Ted asks Barney if he has any questions.
16	-->'''Robin:''' Yeah, I have one.
17	-->'''Ted''': Yes, Robin.
18	-->(''Ted and Barney both {{gasp}} when they notice her, along with a regretful Marshall and Lily'')
19	* EmbarrassingSlide: Ted seems to have mixed up his pictures of Robin's drunk look and a Daniel Burnham building.
20	-->'''Student''': Uh, Professor Mosby?
21	-->'''Ted''': Yes, Susan?
22	-->'''Student named Susan''': That's a woman drinking beer on the toilet.
23	-->'''Ted''': (''looking at the slides'') Right. That-that was Daniel Burnham's wife. She was a troubled, troubled woman. We are moving on.
24	* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Robin points out to Ted that some of the things he was teaching Barney were actually wrong, such as his belief that she gets turned on when her left knee is rubbed.
25	* MistakenForCheating: Robin assumes that Barney was cheating on her when he was trying to be a good boyfriend. Barney was actually taking classes with Ted.
26	* NightmareFace: Robin's "Angry" face.
27	-->'''Ted''': Flared nostril ridges, wide unblinking eyes. If you ever, ever, see this face, Barney, run. And don't take a picture of it, she will punch you... [[NoodleIncident And you will cry... For the third time... That night]].
28	* ShoutOut: Barney references the "Oh, Captain, my Captain" scene from ''Film/DeadPoetsSociety''.
29	* {{Subject 101}}: The study of Robin.
