What do university students know anyway? Are they undergrads? It's very possible I was wrong back in the day about some of the profs.
The fact that you are working on it says a lot, not to mention your Pleb Economist series.

Yep, undergrads. And yeah it's hard for the students and profs to necessarily vibe with each other. I think what my colleague taught me is: don't be afraid to go off on tangents about your own interests. It humanizes you with the students. I try to stay too straight-laced and on-track with the curriculum.

I'm guessing you probably don't have to worry about going too off-topic since your instinct is to stay on-track.
Personally I can recall learning a lot from teachers' tangents. Sound advice.
