I just posted grades for the spring 2016 semester, which went fast. Thus ends my 27th year as a professor at the University of Texas at Arlington (and my 28th year as a professor). I'm off now for almost 15 weeks, during which time I will read, ride, write, ramble (with my three dogs), roam (with dear Katherine), rock (on my acoustic guitar), and in general enjoy life. You may be interested in how my students view politics. I gave everyone credit on the final examination for predicting the outcome of the presidential race. Here are the results:

  • Hillary Clinton: 21
  • Donald Trump: 18
  • Bernie Sanders: 14
  • None of the above: 1

I specifically asked for a prediction, not a preference.
