Overview: Academics 101

It's not that uncommon to find out, halfway through a semester, that the unassuming professor at the front of the class wrote your high school textbook, spoke on the topic before Congress and is collaborating with the Nobel laureate lecturing in the next room over. If they're teaching here, you can be certain they're at the top of their field.
