Professor used "she", btw.

My face is red. I'll continue to strive to be more careful in my biases. Thank you for the reminder.

I can’t help but feel that clarification on any of these points is absolutely useless to the thrust of what he was trying to say.

If I had to guess I’d probably go with the duplication, though. That’s probably how he did it.

>>But I did it at SMC at night for basically free (I think $140 or so), and she paid a couple grand for the privilege at UCLA

So the same professor taught at both the community college and the university. Which would make it essentially the same course.

Me, night school. Her, daytime.

The German teacher was teaching at two community colleges and UCLA at the same time (week-level precision) yet struggled to pay rent.

Since he said he took them "at night" and didn't mention her time, I bet it's the same time in the sense that their schedules overlapped.

Same semester, different hours, most likely.
