By most accounts, Obama's time at the law school was a huge success. He arrived in 1992, fresh out of Harvard Law School, to juggle teaching courses in constitutional law and race theory. Within a few years, he became a rock-star professor with hordes of devoted students, wrote a popular book and launched a political career as an Illinois state senator.

Just a clarification: since he wasn't tenured 'professor' is with a lower case 'p'. He was a law lecturer and not a full professor, hence the lower case 'p'.
"What are the principles we can glean from this case?" he'd often ask as he began each class. Sometimes he'd wait for students to voluntarily make their arguments; other times he'd "cold call" them by name. Obvious answers wouldn't work. Nor would a simple "Yes, I agree." It was like a conversation.
Yes, the socratic method that turns teaching into a conversation to develop intellect and intimate knowledge of a subject. A very different approach than flashcards, which leads to memorization of facts and not much else.

You're mistaken. First, tenured isn't the same as full professor. Second, it is quite common for instructors with a terminal degree, who teach at the professional degree-level, to be referred to as Professor, though certainly his contract wouldn't have labeled him as such.
"Professor Obama is facing a classroom the size of America now. The question is whether he'll be able to bring his students along."
YES HE WILL.....GOBOMA!!!

This is only important to sane people. The right wing radicals don't think no edjewmacation is important.
