"Making the Leap"

From Grant Snider:

Student Feedback

Yesterday, I looked at my class evaluations from last semester at Hamline University. I thought it had been a good semester, and the feedback backed that up: there were positive comments everywhere. This one was the best final note a student made:

I can confidently say that Steve was one of the best professors I've ever had at Hamline University. He was very talented at explaining esoteric ideas. He was respectful to everyone, fair, and hilariously sarcastic which kept everyone engaged with the material. He was also incredibly passionate, creative, interesting, and dorky, all good qualities of an influential professor.

I'm happy to see "hilariously sarcastic" and "interesting and dorky" in my evaluation...
