Morrie noticed something was wrong when he started experiencing physical symptoms, such as twitching, and losing control of his body. He later received a diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which was the moment he knew something serious was happening.
Your question doesn't make sense. You mean "...when 16 years ago MITCH was a student..." But you're wrong. It never says that Morrie had less than a year to live when Mitch was a student. In the book, it says that, when Mitch first reunited with Morrie, doctors tell him he has about 2 years left to live, but Morrie feels he has only 1. And he is right.
