I just spent 90 minutes answering the questions my Hispanic Civ students left for me on our course blog and my brain is boiling.
These questions are very very good. My students are very very smart. I have to think really hard to answer these questions. And they are complex, too. Not just questions but comments, long, well-written, insightful comments that culminate in a question.
When a student starts a comment with, “When Maimonides says in the Guide for the Perplexed. . .”, I feel too joyful for words. Because I never even assigned Maimonides! I just mentioned him in a lecture.
Even on a Saturday night, my job makes me happy.
