My students are writing an exam right now. Only 11 students out of the 12-student, in-person class showed up to this exam, and there are 2 students who I have never seen before. They have never ever come to lecture, not even once. That is... really something.
Did I made my class *too* accessible? (I mean, I skipped loads of classes as an undergrad, but that's because I was at Caltech and the profs all HATED teaching and were bad at it. I sure hope I'm better than that?!) Hmph.

Yeah. There are those moments that really, really make an instructor wonder.A conclusion I’ve come to over the years about teaching: “It’s not about you, Paul.” Even when it is about me — my teaching, my policies, my behavior — it’s not about me. Whatever the hell is going on with those students, I guarantee it’s not about you!
