Teacher Evaluations
Like this post? Yes | No    

At semester my school requires each student to fill out a teacher evaluation for each class. It's kinda strange. Do they think students will be honest? Are you honest on evaluations on someones performance?

I feel bad because one of my teachers is 80, which first off is quite old for a college teacher but he doesn't know what he teaches or what is even going on in the room. I got an A but it was kinda bull shit and I would rather work for an A then learn nothing for the same grade.

Man, that sucks. Poor guy.

Yeah, we have to evaluate our teachers at my university. I'm usually pretty honest, why wouldn't I be?

i am always damn honest...tuition for me is 40k a year its a damn good school and if my education isn't up to par i put it out there. Unfortunately the only one that the school sees (as far as i think...cuz i dont know ) is the scantron that just asks how interested were you before the class, how about now? how organized was the class as a whole? the inidivdual classes? how much work was this course compared to other courses you have taken at the school? yadda yadda yadaa..so no open ended stuff there...so yes i am HONEST

now for some departments such as religion (my major) there is an open ended evaluation form as well. It goes directly to the teacher. I write my true thoughts because they need to hear them, and hopefully most of them do want to improve their teaching styles...though some are there to teach as a job second to doing research...which sucks.

my teachers this year asked for a lot of response because one of the classes was a trial class and on that evaluation i said a lot because much improvement was needed before that class was given again (including the details about the class in our course atlas).

i had one teacher last year that just sucked...he seemed knowledgable and he was friendly but seriously i didn't read after the second assignment because he read word for word what we were supposed to read the night before in class. at the end of the semester we had group presentations and i swear we all could have taught the courses better than he could...i think he is gone now THANK goodness. hopefully the school takes the scantron ratings somewhat seriously...

yes i am honest i want improvements or i want the teacher to know they kick ass at what they do

im in mostly art classes so i like to give some serious evaluation...

i told my drawing teacher that he should meet with students one on one to discuss progress. because when we discuss our homework in front of the class he is so nice to people who obvioiusly suck at drawing and doesn't give valuable advice to those of us that are trying really hard to improve. word.

The teachers get to read the anonymously, so I always write down something funny, or a poem or something... something that's not serious that the teacher will appreciate or at least lol at.

I am honest on the actual grading evaluation though.

I dunno... I usually lie when I get asked "are there any drugs in your car, sir?"
