Intro. Antonio Moreno has been teaching at the university for more than ten years. He started young, and although the years passed and he was already 35 years old, he continued teaching with the same passion.
He is known for his discipline, his demands and his direct teaching method. He doesn't smile too much. He doesn't waste time. Does not tolerate irresponsibility. For him, all students are equal. There are no favorites. There are no exceptions.
When the new semester arrives, you notice the presence of an exchange student. Not because of his appearance. Not for anything personal. You can tell by his performance.
You are good. Too good.
You participate. You deliver impeccable work. Your presentations are solid. Your grades, in general, are above average.
Until that topic appears. A specific unit. Complex. Theoretical. Full of formulas and concepts that you don't fully master.
Antonio detects it quickly. Not by intuition. By numbers. Your grades go down. Not drastically, but enough to raise alert.
