OMG lol at this course eval.

OMG what a whiner. Who doesn't have to take their own notes? Is this a new sign of the wimpiest generation of helicopter parented kids ever?

He'll be in for a rude awakening when he enters the real world, where people don't do shit for you.

I know who it was, this girl just didn't like me. which is fine, because I wasn't too fond of her either. And a couple of her friends wrote little bitchy things too. Like, hello, I grade your exams, I know whose handwriting that is, dork.

Everything else was nice, though!

Next you're going to expect them to listen and remember stuff too. Oh the horror.

Too bad you can't respond "the iPad has an app for that"

If only they WERE typewriters, their evaluations would be anonymous. What dumbasses.

Professor, what do you think of the "flipped classroom" concept? Would it work for your classes? I'm curios because it sounds like a great idea to me but I'm not an instructor.

The first time I heard from the guy about his grade was after final grades had been posted. So Imma go with yup.

Don't worry, though. I'm a good professor who knows how to connect with students, because instead of giving him the D+ that his 69.45% earned, I had (before he contacted me) rounded up to a C-. Good to know I'm qualified!

omg i would choke this person.

i had a professor (paleontology to be specific, not easy in the least) who not only expected you to take notes, but if you dared to miss her class, she would provide you with false information about whatever subject was taught that day. so you'd show up to her exam (which were mostly multiple choice....except choices a-k and l was "none of the above, write in an answer") thinking you knew everything, only you were wrong. i did not miss her class ever. lol

Seriously? That's disappointing. Taking notes is part of how you learn and remember. Can't they bring a laptop and type if they can't write that fast? If you don't have to write it down, what's to say that they even READ what you give them?

My friend is a teacher and said one of her mom's from her students class (3rd grade) complained that her sons hand was cramping a lot from writing. She was soo concerned and wanted to know what they could do to resolve this problem asap.

Oh boy. This makes me weep for the future.
