The Curriculum:
Albom begins by describing the informal last class of Morrie Schwartz, his former professor, the focus of which is the meaning of life, and is taught from experience. The class is held at the professor's house on Tuesdays and is taught from questions answered and then questions given in return. Albom describes that the students must also present an oral exam, and occasionally help the professor reposition himself, or move his glasses. Mitch Albom was his only student. The chapter is finished with a flashback to his senior graduation from college. After everyone’s speeches the narrator finds Morrie and gives him an initialed suitcase as a farewell present and promises to keep in touch with Morrie.
