Year I Came to UVM: 2019

Best Teaching Moment: One day, I showed a death curve to the class, asking the students what they have found from the figure.  One student answered solemnly, “We are all going to die.”  The whole class laughed.  Two professors happened to audit the class that day.  “I almost fell off the chair at that moment,” one of them told me later, “ I really admire the humor your student has.”  I believe, “They learn when you make them laugh.”  I like it, especially when students let it happen.
