I taught a lab today and thought I’d get some good material for my blog, but alas, the students worked hard and had great attitudes.
Stupid students.
Thinking about school reminded me of my undergraduate vertebrate biology class. One day we were discussing birds. We learned that a ratite is a flightless bird, like an emu, an ostrich and a kiwi. That same day we talked about glide polars, flight curves of birds. While the professor drew a glide polar on the board, one student raised her hand and said, “So then what’s the glide polar of a ratite?”
Like I said, stupid students.
