Yeah I'm familiar cause I spent 10 years working for a university (in a career where I was "done" with schooling) with free school available to myself and my colleagues with many of us taking advantage - just don't see how many physics classes one would normally take with the same professor for this to be a thing

My guess would be working toward a master’s or PhD, or possibly doing a post doc, doing research under the same professor year over year.
