: PrawfsOffensive Student Evaluations
By Dan Markel, Ethan Leib, Rick Garnett, Matt Bodie, Paul Horwitz , Steve Vladeck, and Orly Lobel
It is that time of year again ? student evaluation time. Although the value of student evaluations has been questioned (for example, see here and here), I used to take them pretty seriously.
And then I got this one:
In response to the question ?What are the best aspects of the course?? the student wrote:
Professor is kinda hot ? not bad to look at!
In response to the next question, ?What advice do you have for the instructor to improve this course?? the student responded:
Lose a few pounds.
Really? An entire semester of Property, and that is what you came up with? So now I take my student evaluations with a grain of salt and a pint of Ben & Jerry?s.
