North Dakota State, a football team the big boys of college football should avoid like the plague, helped christen a $90 million renovation to Snyder Family Stadium — including a statue of famed Kansas State coach Bill Snyder himself — by taking a sledgehammer to the place.Bob Lutz, The Wichita Eagle, August 30th, 2013
We had Fred Haring as a replacement for an ill teacher during fall semester of 2008 for Differential Equations. One of his stipulations for coming back to teach was that he wanted the final for the class to be 2-3 weeks before the final, because he wasn't going to be spending any time in December in North Dakota, he was going to Hawaii.
The first test he gave we did very poorly on, no one really complained though. A few showed up late during the class he was handing back the test, and as they came up to receive their tests he gave comments along the lines of "No need to cry about your score, everyone did poorly"
The rest of the semester went super smoothly in that class after the first test!

Sean Sather-Wagstaff made Calc II a ton of fun. Explained things really well and was funny as hell.

No, he didn't. He took over about 3 weeks into the semester, started over with teaching the content from the beginning of the course, and ended 2-3 weeks early. Basically he packed an entire semester into about 10 weeks. I think if I had to go fully in depth to Diff Eq, I wouldn't have passed.

Differential equations with Nikita Barbanov was THE way to go. He was really in to chess and allegedly was on the Soviet National basketball team. But it was hard to get him to tell stories because he would get really amped about lecturing and I've never seen anyone write on a chalk board as fast as he could. And open notes tests were a big help for me haha.
