Re: I have this mental image ...
We had Mr Dawber in first year undergrad physics (for biologists) who was pedantic, slow and humourless. His over emphasised 'some units have capital letters because they are named after real people' as though we were 2 years olds was widely mocked afterwards.
We think he got inflicted on us since we were biologists. I needed Physics and Chemistry for Physiology which is a numerate science which makes fairly heavy use of both.
These days biology undergrads often get intensive compulsory physics early in 1st year and complain about it hard. My spawn got no sympathy from me over it.
