Not mine, but heard this one from a colleague:
"He was full of wisdom, but usually presented it in a clueless fashion. Sometimes it felt like Winnie the Pooh was teaching our class."

This was embarrassing to me:
"Mrs. Romo is so beautiful it's distracting and I'm not sure I'll remember anything else from her class. But I'm sure she's a wonderful teacher. I'm definitely recommending her."
It was really funny to the secretaries who typed up the comments and ran the scantrons through the machine. They got a good laugh over it.

Bump.
"Dr. Geo should have one full class period for reviewing before exams."
OK Dear, I'll reduce our 3 review periods down to one.

And make sure your students know whom to thank. |

I once got, under areas that need improvement:
"She does not hesitate to tell you when you are wrong"
Am I supposed to hesitate? Just a dramatic pause, or should I wait a couple weeks before correcting students?

Funny, I always thought that "wait time" meant how long we allowed students to have to answer a question, not how long we had to hesitate before correcting a wrong response. Food for thought... |

When I was a TA, I once had a student write that I physically intimidated the class. I am 4 feet 11 inches tall, though I can glower impressively.

I went through this thread, and I'm surprised to find that I never posted my funniest eval here. I did post it elsewhere on the fora, sometime in the past.
"She thinks she's William Shatner."
To this day I have no idea what the student meant. I did not (visibly) lust after green women, wear a toupee or a Star Trek uniform, or train Adrian Zmed to be a police officer*, at least in that class.
*10 points if you get that reference.

I never watched any TJ Hooker, but it sounds like you should start grading to that old Star Trek fight music... "Duh duh duh duh DUH duh duh duh, duh..." You know what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NJQvswrSPg |

Not funniest, but sweet -- one of the students in my fun freshman seminar wrote "favorite class I've taken so far", which sounds great, but it's his first term, and given his major I basically beat out the weed out freshman chemistry course and the weed out freshman calculus course.

Well, take what you can get. What was the fourth class that students generally take? At least you beat out that one. |
