Isn't Miami U the school with all the crazy, drunk sorority girls who like to vomit and pee all over the caterers and the rented party place?

I wonder what counts as "evidence of teaching excellence"? That's the one that worries me if I ever need to find another job, since I fear it means not well-designed syllabi but student evaluations.
ReplyDeleteI guess they want proof that candidates can "reach" hung-over sorority girls. Come to think of it, that's a pretty good description of about 1/4 of a class that once savaged me on evaluations (because I "didn't give As," a sentiment that was elaborated on at length, in glitter pen (!), with underlining and all caps, on one eval).
Guess I won't be applying.
@CC--glitter ink scrawled on the page says so very much more than the words themselves, doesn't it?
ReplyDelete@Cranky - that eval is, somewhat paradoxically, one of my treasures: the perfect visual demonstration of just how emotionally-driven student evals can be.
