"Student Evaluation of Teaching" joke
One of the joys of being an intro computer science instructor is the
pleasure of being evaluated by undergrads on a quarterly basis. Below
are a few of my favorites from among the many insightful comments I have
received.
Winter 1991:
"Jeff made CIS 211 interesting. This is no small feat..."
"Compared to what I was told about you, you are better than I expected."
Autumn 1990:
"I think in the future you should find an instructor who knows all
about Macs and who likes them." -I'd rather use a better computer
than a different instructor, but to each his own.
"Difficult course matter, takes a lot more than just class time to
learn." -I guess a number of courses don't require any time outside
class.
"Tried to be funny-wasn't."
Spring 1989:
"...he made the best out of an unbearable situation."
"Incredibly boring." -Up until then, I hadn't realized I had a
credibility problem.
"Jeff reminds me of Chevy Chase... I'm real glad he speaks English-
that's hard to find at OSU"-I was really hoping to be compared to
Steve Martin or Gerald Ford.
"You're a great teacher, but I hate this class."
"Maybe an eraser fight is in your future."
