looks like the course lecturer was still an undergrad student at the time he lectured this course. I wonder if that is common at Stanford or whether he is a Doogie Howser style child prodigy.
If only there was some way to tell. There were a bunch of other words on the page where you read that he was a student. Perhaps there is a way to assemble those words into some sort of order and derive meaning from them.
It is a "student-initiated course", which is basically an extracurricular activity that earns a symbolic pass/fail academic credit. Sort of like a golf or dance class at a state college, but a bit more academic that that, since this is Stanford.
