Things My Students Have Said About Me

Actu­al com­ments my stu­dents made about me on a recent sur­vey:

1. the balder the bet­ter
2. exu­ber­ant, zany, wacky, over the top
3. Unique, John Stew­art meets the apos­tle Paul.
4. prone to shout­ing in high pitched voic­es
5. ped­a­gog­ic con­nois­seur — appre­ci­ates good teach­ing and apt quotes.
6. occa­sion­al diar­rhea of the mouth
7. …uncon­ven­tion­al
8. won­der­ful­ly inap­pro­pri­ate­ly humor­ous, great at com­ing up with math­e­mat­i­cal-sci­en­tif­ic analo­gies for facets of spir­i­tu­al­i­ty (bal­loons and 2nd deriv­a­tives any­one?), best at rep­re­sent­ing Jesus on film

It’s great to feel loved. And mocked.
