A former student of mine wrote this on FB in response to my recent teaching award. Sometimes you actually feel like you make a difference.
I cannot overstate the impact the dude…has made on my thinking, on *how* I think, and, therefore, on my life. I only took one of his classes. I was not very disciplined at the time. I failed the class, and yet it’s the best class I’ve ever taken. I learned what it means to learn. I am, in a way, 15 years later, still in that class. Still failing, but growing. Congrats, Professor Jolley. War Eagle.
Seems you failed the right person for sure!
