Actually, that's not why Sheila was stunned. She knew she had to read
the text since it is central to everything we do in class. She just
didn't know how to read, study it, learn from it, since she wasn't going
to read solely to take a test as she was accustomed to doing. That is
the rest of the story before and after the snippet.
Make it a good day.

Class: Clarification
Re-reading my post I think a clarification is necessary. I did not mean
to imply that the student would learn nothing in Louis' class. I meant
only that her silence was likely due to her assumption that she would
not have to learn anything. Certainly some of the comments on Louis'
"ratemyprofessors.com" file indicate that such an assumption would be
decidedly in error.

Hmmmmmmm. I would guess that the student's "... sudden, stunned, and
confused look (and) ...... Pregnant, telling, and revealing silence."
Indicated her joy at realizing she didn't have to read the text or
otherwise learn very much history.
