Body language and posture. This type of nonverbal behavior is about movement and posture, which means the way you sit, walk, stand, etc. And it communicates a lot of information to others.

In the case of Bill's math professor, their posture is completely the opposite of what they say. They should pay attention to their inconsistencies before lecturing other's behavior.

The nonverbal behavior is chronemics

Chronemics is a line of study into nonverbal behavior as all the interaction related to time and the management and awareness of it. Vhronemics in this example is showcased in the demand of the teacher to the students in being punctual event when he himself is not a punctual person, the teacher is allowed to apply this nonverbal behavior since he is the authority figure in the class and it could also be considered a social parameter.
