Whos told their professors about PF? Anyone? :smile:

Why would we do that? They would come here to see who did our homework for us... just look at the math forum, one guy posted a take home test; seriously.

Just realized my post count is 420 :biggrin:
 
I've told a couple. They never posted, but this will remind me to get on their cases. Now that Carlo Rovelli and John Baez post here, I can say to them, "Come on, all the cool kids are doing it. You don't want to be square, do ya?"

LOL! :biggrin:

I don't have a professor, but I'm in intermittent contact with one, depending on my scholastic endevours. I have shown 2 professors, however.
