I have no idea if EO is still around. JC was aiming for a lot Changes that didn't appeal to me as I graduated, so I haven't really kept up. Plus, there was a lot of Drama about my graduation (I ended up having to argue my way to a diploma, a year late, because of credit transfer problems - they decided to change the way credits would transfer the year I went abroad and not explain that was the one place to ignore The Marburg Manual - and missing half a credit for the "Cultural Analysis" requirement due to living in a different culture during an American election year).
Not that I'm still incredibly scathingly bitter, or anything.
That was the one. I avoided names A) because I figured you wouldn't know her and B) for anonymity. ;)
The nice thing about JC was that, in my departments at least (CS/MA/DE) the classes never went much over 20 or so people, so we were all well-known. I also started in Calc II (multivariable), and had the same experience you did with DE210 etc - "Oh, this is exactly like normal calculus, but you ignore one variable and do it again ignoring another variable. See you next week."
I felt kind of bad sometimes, because my Calc II professor taught in the same room I had my Computer Organization class, the hour after I had CO, which was also the hour before I had Calc II. So he knew I was very much cutting his class, a lot. Thank the various gods he had a sense of humor about it.
One day, he asked if I was showing up for class later, and I asked him tocall a coin flip. He lost, nodded ruefully, and said "See you Thursday, then, maybe." Coolest. Prof. Ever.
