Tales from the Classroom: “Did I just say that?”
Posted on January 24, 2005 @ 3:55 pm
As part of my ongoing disservice to students at this fine university, I let this slip during today’s lecture:
“If there’s one thing I want you to take away from my course this semester, it’s that international politics is exactly like the movie Independence Day.”
On a related note, is it really possible that most of my students were only ten years old when ID4 came out? Yikes.

Not often you see spam in the first post. Nice work.
Ah…you’ve gotta love comment spammers.
Now I feel old.

10?
Holy.Freaking.Hell.
I had to get out of teaching when I realized my students viewed the moon landing as ancient history.
