6. Professor Points: I also get intermediate tex output for free,
which I don't need, but may please you if you are a professor
(or said professor's hopelessly sleep derived grad students).

I don't recommend SP's section for MA421, regardless of the excellent teaching quality.
She also had a rule about promptness of assignment delivery, meaning the start of class when she arrived. Fair enough!
On this one assignment, I had done all but the last question at home, and printed it off, with the hope that I could finish it at the lab and send it to a laser printer in another building. At the time, labs used shared, dot-matrix printers that were usually jammed. I got the last question done, sent it to the printer, then checked the queue. Apparently someone was printing a book, not going to get done before class.
I emailed her my .tex file, with the explanation that I'd hand in my incomplete printout in class, but would appreciate if she could mark the last section so I knew how I did. This was sent well before class, as the timestamp would show. The prof ended up printing, marking, and returning this version, and I received full marks!
