I’m currently a professor in a STEM field. I interact with about 200 students each semester. Some of these interactions are more *memorable* than others.
This is a story from only a few years ago where I ended up exchanging videos with a student for hours, which led to something a little more.
————————————————————————————-
It was a normal weekday about midway through the semester. No days off anytime recently or anytime soon. I was lecturing about something super math heavy, and I remember seeing almost a whole row of students nodding off.
I finished class a little early, and told them thanks for being here physically – a little jab at everyone that fell asleep. A couple students came up to me after class. They were in a group whenever we did group work, and they seemed to have become friends throughout the semester. They had some questions about the lecture. *Yay, someone was paying attention!*
We walked through their questions until they seem to understand most of the answers. Then one of them, Morgan, asked me, “Do you mind that I recorded this lecture?”
