Student Evaluations



I received a copy of my student evaluations for the
introductory physics course I teach for prospective
elementary teachers, as an adjunct professor. The
biggest complaint I saw over and over was I taught
"things" that were not tested. Am I wrong in doing that?
Has higher education become "teach to the test" too or is
this because these students are going into education and
I am sure (at least in Ohio) that has become our
educational motto. I personally always appreciated
opportunities to increase my educational/intellectual
background - am I in the minority. Has education in
general just become about GPA's? Any comments.
