I got my evals from last semester's work out of my box today. Great fun, and the nice part was I got a bunch of compliments on my day of teaching (which was totally unexpected and totally lovely). My favorite eval was submitted by someone who rated my work as "satisfactory" but who didn't think I was effective, or interested in the progress of students, or a fast grader, or kept an open forum for airing out ideas.
Their comment, however, is PURE gold (all original spelling):
Now, understand, I was reading these while walking back to my car, so at first I only read the first two lines (because the papers were slightly folded). So yeah, for about 10 seconds I actually thought the student had taken a poll of the class and they all thought I was hot. I was a little weirded out, a little flattered, and then I read the last two sentences and went, "OH! dear. this is perhaps why this person had grades they were dissatisfied with."
I'm amused enough by the misspelling that I can't really take it seriously (although it did sorta make me want to go and try to sort by gender just to see what final grades were).
And in other, related news, I am in THE MOST CRACKTASTIC class ever. And I think I'm going to love it. Actually,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sonder, you'd immediately get an A for everything you've been working on. ( this is the course description )
For the first class, one of the TAs brought in a project he was working on - it's going to be a steam punk rocket launcher. The course rules? No flamethrowers, no hurting yourself or others (or putting them in a position to hurt you), and no bullshitting. The woman beside me who'd taken the class before is finally going to finish her dildo theremin. Yes, I did say dildo theremin.

sexiest
I asked 10 guys & 10 girls
all guys got B's on their essay
all girls got A's!
