STUDENT: Can I write an essay about the rising cost of unnecessary oil platforms off the Korean coast?
SEK: I don't see why not. But, um, what are you writing this for?
STUDENT: Your class.
SEK: My class?
STUDENT: Shit, which one am I talking to?
SEK: Not the one who's teaching you anything about Korean oil platforms, but luckily for you, the one who won't be offended you just wrote "Shit."
STUDENT: Fuck, I won't make that mistake twice.

It's bad enough they don't learn our names in face-to-face classes; online classes will make us that much more faceless....

Funny stuff! I forgot to extend the drop box the other day. I get an email from a student who has known me only since August: "Dr. Bruner, the drop box seems to be closed. I wonder if I misheard you in class to say you were extending the deadline? Sincerely," Then a text from a student who has known me for years (and knows I forget things that aren't in my routine): "Dr. B! Open the drop box!"
