Student Evaluation of Teaching

martens@cis.ohio-state.edu (Jeff Martens)
(original, true, chuckle)

One of the joys of being an intro computer science instructor is the pleasure of being evaluated by undergrads on a quarterly basis. Below are a few of my favorites from among the many insightful comments I have received.

Winter 1991:

"Jeff made CIS 211 interesting. This is no small feat..."

"Compared to what I was told about you, you are better than I expected."

Autumn 1990:

"I think in the future you should find an instructor who knows all about Macs and who likes them." --I'd rather use a better computer than a different instructor, but to each his own.

"Difficult course matter, takes a lot more than just class time to learn." --I guess a number of courses don't require any time outside class.

"Tried to be funny--wasn't."

Spring 1989:

"...he made the best out of an unbearable situation."

"Incredibly boring." --Up until then, I hadn't realized I had a credibility problem.

"Jeff reminds me of Chevy Chase.... I'm real glad he speaks English-- that's hard to find at OSU"--I was really hoping to be compared to Steve Martin or Gerald Ford.

"You're a great teacher, but I hate this class."

"Maybe an eraser fight is in your future."
