Using vegetables as learning objects

    Glad you liked it; the actual class went really well, too.

    However, if you do decide to do this, allow me to share with you some tips, which I learned only by experience:

    1. If the garbage can in your office only get emptied once a week, discard of your used vegetables elsewhere.

    2. Take the kitchen knife that you used to cut your vegetables home immediately, or at least hide it from view. Whatever you do, don’t leave it beside the pile of ungraded calculus tests. Otherwise your students or colleagues might notice it, and wonder if you’re really that stressed.

    So did you cut the actual shells/washers out of your vegetables, then?
