“We are so lucky to have June, Theo, Marcus, and Rita with us this semester. Their research has propelled our field forward, and I’m sure they’ll go on to have promising careers,” stated Professor Agarwal as he presented his TAs to the class. “Also, Clyde is here. His research is alright.”

Professor Agarwal went on to assure students that their section TAs would facilitate eye-opening discussion, as long as that TA wasn’t Clyde.

“And remember, your TA will be a fantastic resource for you when you write your final paper. Be sure to take their advice,” added Professor Agarwal as Clyde walked in late. “Unless, of course, you’re in Clyde’s section. Then, take everything with a grain of salt.”

According to the syllabus, students in Professor Agarwal’s class have two thought-provoking assignments to look forward to, and also three useless ones.
