Last year, I had a male student from engineering who was caustic and dismissive in all semester. I thought he hated my class and couldn't wait to be rid of me. Toward the end of the semester, we went on zoom because of the protests. He asked for an appointment but requested that we used the chat function only without cameras because he felt intimidated. Over chat, however, he opened up.
He asked for a reading list, and I don't remember why, but I told him to reach out again in a few months. I forgot about him, but this morning he emailed again asking him for the reading list.
I sent him a few titles that I thought he might like. Surprises like these show me how little I know sometimes.
