I know too much. Somehow the ancient greek teacher talked me into taking it. I wonder if there is any ethics violation in an advisor advising his advisees to take his own class… It’s a great way to convince the bosses that there is a lot of interest in your subject and thus you should continue to be employed, I suppose.
