College students, at the end of a course, are often asked
to evaluate the various factors involved in it:
Instructor, text, and so forth. Here are some collected
comments:
"What's the quality of the textbook? Textbook is printed on high
quality paper."
"Textbook is useless. I use it to kill roaches in my room."
"He teaches like Speedy Gonzalez on a caffeine high."
"In class, the syllabus is more important than you are."
"Help! I've fallen asleep and I can't wake up!"
"Textbook makes a satisfying 'thud' when dropped on the floor."
"The class is worthwhile because I need it for the degree."
"His blackboard technique puts Rembrandt to shame"
"Textbook is confusing ... someone with a knowledge of
English should proofread it."
"Have you ever fallen asleep in class and awoke in
another? That's the way I felt all term."
"This class was a religious experience for me ... I had to
take it all on faith."
"The recitation instructor would make a good parking lot
attendant. Tries to tell you where to go, but you can
never understand him."
"Problem sets are a decoy to lure you away from potential
exam material."
"Recitation was great. It was so confusing that I forgot
who I was, where I was, and what I was doing - it's a
great stress reliever."
"He is one of the best teachers I have had ... He is
well-organized, presents good lectures, and creates
interest in the subject. I hope my comments don't hurt his
chances of getting tenure."
"I would sit in class and stare out the window at the
squirrels. They've got a cool nest in the tree."
"The absolute value of the TA was less than epsilon."
"TA steadily improved throughout the course ... I think he
started drinking and it really loosened him up."
"Information was presented like a ruptured fire hose -
spraying in all directions - no way to stop it."
"I never bought the textbook. My $60 was better spent on the
Led Zeppelin tapes that I used while doing the problem
sets."
"The course was very thorough. What wasn't covered in
class was covered on the final exam."
