Evaluations

Teaching Evaluations

In order to help prospective students see what they are likely to encounter, course grading patterns and course teaching evaluations (including discussion of other aspects of the course, eg difficulty, text book, etc) are available for lower division courses taught during the 21^st century and having an enrollment of fewer than 400 students.

These are raw evaluations, unfiltered even for errors of fact. Thus, for example, a student comment about my policy of requiring tin hats to be worn during exams does not (necessarily) mean that I have such a policy.
