Class History
RENS.PAL.16.1 had Kurt W. as the instructor and Zach as the TA. Kurt carried around an antique Macbook and a stuffed moose named Pico in his backpack. He also had a gigantic flag related to the Renaissance and would let his students hold it while walking to and from class.
Since most of the class was taught through slideshows, a projector was obviously needed. However, the big, good quality projector was in high demand, so by the second week the class was stuck with a ridiculously tiny projector that was, quite honestly, crap. It might have been named Clarence, but it's been a while and the author of this text is not quite sure about that.
During a mock trial, Kurt would jokingly yell insults at whoever was being tried, and one of the two boys in the entire class tried to copy him. With ferocity, he went, "You dimple!" when he meant to say, "You pimple!". Needless to say, this became a sort of inside joke.
