He randomly assigns the grades before the first day of class. Fair.

My impression is that he was entirely serious about not wanting to teach in-person due to COVID and the rest was his dark sense of humour and a way of protesting being forced to do that. I'm curious if he was really going to do the random grading though.

It's far more reasonable than the article makes it out:
> “I’m old enough to be your grandpa, and you people are vectors of disease to me,” he said. “So when I look at a classroom filled with 50 students, I see 50 selfish kids who don’t [care] whether grandpa lives or dies.”

The professor's side of the story. Definitely on grandpa's side on this one but that was already the case from reading the slanted take on it in the Washington Post article. Easy to tell that something was not right about their dramatic take on things.
