This Stats teacher I have in Grad school this term is something . I have yet to meet him (having been absent for three consecutive meetings since classes commenced last Oct 20) but he has already impressed me.
Based on statitics, maybe he already predicted that attendance wouldn't be complete for a spell (with holidays and all) that he dispensed with the lecture and gave out an assignment instead.
What's so special with the homework is that he required it to be handwritten which is a novelty at this age. His logic is elementary but it encompasses a wide magnitude of values that students nowadays (especially with the working force) fail (or refuse) to recognize.
If I spend two hours each day writing on paper what I have managed to scour from the amazing internet, it will take me at least two days to finish. Yes, the scope is quite a lot. That, and my poor writing speed (plus the auto mode of crumpling the sheets when I make even the littlest mistake), are the deadliest combo. It's a trifle difficult even when writing on both sides of the paper.
Then, it becomes a decision between saving the trees or saving time. Sigh!
