The Coolest Math Teacher

A math professor prepares a special Halloween lecture that mixes pre-edited video with live action.

My high school geometry teacher, Mr. Ungrich, was kind of cool like this. For instance, for the final, he let you have your choice of 1) a 100 question test, or 2) only 3 problems, chosen at random from a hat. But the 3 problems could range from anything that we covered that year, and if you only got 2 right, then you got only 66% on the final, meaning a D.

The cool thing was, he threw in "give away" questions in the hat. One guy got "Are you wearing a hat?" and I remember getting "What color is the sky?". (To be fair, I was told later that there were several questions like that on the 100 question test as well...)

I had a history teacher who used to climb around on our desks and get in our face. It sounds like he was an ass but he was the funniest teacher I've ever had.

Good stuff. I once saw a play by Station House Opera called "Roadmetal, Sweetbread" which had two live actors interacting with projected doubles of theirs, with a lot of quite elaborate choreography and slapstick. It was quite disconcerting how soon you forgot which actions were done by a live actor and which by the projected one.
