On a day that some of us came to class during a storm, he gave us extra credits.
During the final exam, a LOT of the questions referenced his personal stories (eg. "The lost toy bunny story is an example of _______")
Great advice!!

I had a similar experience: I was taking a class on "American English", and the professor kept talking about the etymology of various American words. I found it fascinating, and jotted down the info just for kicks. Well, guess what was on the test? All the trivia!! I got an A+ in that class, and I guarantee you, it was the only one I ever got!
These are wonderful, NutBrwnHair!! We had Study Buddies, and paired up on similar classes to hold each other accoutable.
