Today a I asked my class, a bit (though never far) off our designated topic of Shakespeare, popular culture, and rhetoric, what they made of Chelsea Clinton's response to a question about the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Here's a clip of her answer:

I had a student in a literature class who--even though she ended up with a good grade in the class--I felt did not "get it" in some important way.

This student is taking an on-line class that I teach this semester--a course designed by another person. (I basically just grade.) My former student, who I did not have high expectations for, just aced a big assignment. A big part of her success was due to her knowledge of poetic forms and techniques--something she learned in my class.
