Not only is my Health in the Developing World class one of the most relevant classes to the world's problems, but it also has some of the best discussions as well. The combination of graduate students in the class adds a new dimension and level of outside expertise that I have yet to experience in the classroom.
But my professor always knows how to relate on our level, trying to bring a bit more of a positive side to our lectures by adding pictures of himself from about 20 years ago into the powerpoints. Longer-haired and hippy-eske, last weeks photo was from his high school yearbook. Next to his picture mentioned that he was the captain of his high school swim team, and a member of the ecology club--we laughed.
His quick reply... "The ecology club is what myself and my under-achieving friends made up to put something on our college applications. We never really had a meeting without a bong."
This week's photo: professor smoking hookah somewhere in Egypt (I believe) with two old college friends.
I honestly can say, I look forward to this class every single week.
