45-year-old Drik Vandenberg is a law professor at the University of Tennessee College of Law. In his free time, he enjoys backpacking in the Smokies and road biking, and board games with his close-knit friend group. He is a bit of a techie, and uses Android because he likes the freedom it gives him to connect microSD cards and sideload apps. He is paid $145,000/year, and holds a J.D. from the University of Tennessee and a B.A. in English from the University of South Carolina. Vandenberg loves teaching and especially loves the in-class discussions that occur when he calls on students to discuss material from the latest reading. He tries to be fair and call on all students equally, but he is concerned that he may be subconsciously calling on the most talkative students the most. He is also wishes that he was able to easily monitor student in-class performance over time to ensure he is successfully covering the material. Vanderberg plans to use our app to track each student's in-class performance over time and to also call on everyone in a mathematically fair way.
