Oh come now, Joel! It's a cute story--and it *does* suit my mood right
now for reasons we needn't go into--but you don't *really* believe that;
do you?
MyThe form we used several years ago had a question along the lines of: "
instructor made me think". They had to rate each question 1-5, 1 meaning
classes,agree most strongly with the statement.
One instructor in our department, who usually gets worse than average
evaluations and who also has higher than average standards in his
thewould always be rated quite well on this question (near 1) compared to
theother questions. I had noticed similar phenomena in my own evaluations.
My interpretation is that in the student's mind it was *bad* teaching if
badinstructor made them think, they didn't like this guy so they rated him
instructoreverywhere; little realizing that they were accidently rating the
well for this question!
