From the number of Alf images he received, he figured he’d be able to find out early on if he’d have enough students to keep the class engaged, or even to keep it going. And maybe, he thought, he’d teach them something along the way.

“Eight out of 20 have [responded] so far,” he said. “I don’t know what to make of that.”
