"The best--and I hope the most accurate--assessment of my teaching style comes from a former student of mine, who once wrote that 'Mr. Cohen forces students to cogitate painfully,' indeed, that 'he PUSHES the points that he knows will hurt.' I gladly own up to such pedagogical sadism. The trick, of course, is to provide enough pain to inspire cogitation--but not so much as to generate recrimination or, worse yet, psychic disintegration."
