Student Evaluations

Here is a new study on student evaluations.

The basic conclusions: Students give higher scores to (1) profs who are easier and to (2) those who are good-looking.

Comment on conclusion 1: Duh.

Comment on conclusion 2: I suppose they correlated the evaluations with the chili peppers on RateMyProfessor.com?



I actually got predominantly good evaluations on the classes I've taught, and I certainly wasn't easy. It must be because I'm charming or maybe even nice. [[Mason ducks under the thrown tomatoes.]]
