This semester, the Tuesday evening graduate course I teach falls on Halloween. So in our previous class, I told the students that they should feel free to come to class dressed up in a Halloween costume.<\/p>\n
Alas, only one soul was brave enough to take me up on it. She arrived dressed up as Judy Hopps from Zootopia (complete with ears), and her costume was awesome.<\/p>\n
Not knowing how many students would arrived dressed in costume, I decided that in all fairness, I needed to come to class in a costume. So I got dressed up as a professor.<\/p>\n
Yes, I know that sounds confusing. After all, I am<\/i> a professor. But I’m the kind of professor who usually dresses like a student.<\/p>\n
So this evening I did the whole three-piece old fashioned twill suit thing, with a tie and everything. Probably not all that different from what C.S. Lewis would have worn to teach his classes at Oxford ninety years ago.<\/p>\n
The students were very appreciative. I think they always like it when their professor puts a little extra effort into preparing for class. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
