Mark stays near the back of his Operating Systems class. He receives a note in class that is passed to him from the front. He then storms out and answers the professor's question accurately. Youtube clip of the scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3Rt2_9d7Jg Do these actions funnel into the narrative of his Asperger's and introvert outcast nature as someone who's a total jerk with no social chemistry? |

Yes, these particular actions give more insight in his character. But it is only character development in the perspective of the audience. Those actions do not seem to be part of his own character development: after this class, I think he still is who he was. |

I think the key point of that scene is to demonstrate that Mark's knowledge vis-à-vis computers and programming was leaps and bounds ahead of his peers. (Mark did, in fact, start programming at a relatively young age, and excelled in science and math in school.) |
