I have had a couple of professors who were more interested in punishing lack of knowledge than they were in helping one acquire knowledge. It's a common dominance strategy. I debated the difference in verbs between "I have had" and "I had" but decided to leave my first choice alone. Comments on that choice are welcome. I believe my first choice is durative and the second momentary, and I rather liked the correct implication that this happened over some period of time. English is so poor at denoting verb duration. For instance, "I be studying" is durative whereas "I am studying" only implies the momentary action, not including the past. The verb use in that first phrase had to be invented to allow people to better express themselves.
