      Only if you’ve never been to small-class-size college. “College professor takes a lesson to do something eccentric instead of the class curriculum” happened in at least one class at least once a semester. You uh, learn a lot about your professors.

      I once had a teacher take us all down the pub

      Another who decided the lesson would be best spent in the woods and we didn’t get any work done

      Another you could distract by getting him talking about the Simpsons and barely do any work

      My history teacher used to make us role play as Romans and wear togas

      Like these things happen all the time

      I’ve never had anything this extreme happen, but I did once have a professor who realized that the lesson he was teaching was difficult and boring and, at the end of it, said that he was going to cancel the quiz and to not study hard this weekend because, “if you study too hard, your brain will explode and you’ll die.”

      I had a lot of trouble understanding your accent, Dr. Tran, and math is super hard for me, but much respect for that.
