I knew that I should never have mentioned the test: just 6 students turned up for my Thursday morning Knowledge Management class. Determined to hunt the rest of them down, I prowled the corridors. Perhaps they were with JB?

If the students were on campus, they were well-hidden. The only evidence of them that I could find in any of the other classrooms was a dog-eared copy of the student association’s magazine. My eyes were drawn to a “Rate my professor” type column in which I had been profiled. Apparently I wasn’t doing too badly in my job.
