Let's do an uplift to start the semester. Share your favorite student comment from your fall evals!

Mine:
"Everyday she came in excited to teach us which in return made me excited to learn."

In the student evaluation I was referred to as "a mega intelligent psychology mother to all" and I think this could make for a great t-shirt. Very grateful for the positive and constructive feedback from students on Semester 1. It made my day! Roll on Semester 2!

The one that made me laugh hardest was "Irrelevant twaddle". I'm pretty sure it was the student who trades Forex in bed on his phone and proudly announced (in the 1 seminar he attended) that he earned more in a month than I earn in a year. 😆

"Dr. Lister, however, always comes prepared with organized, detailed, and, importantly, MODERN teaching materials. Just let him run wild."

Omg this is absolutely fabulous and not even a tiny bit surprising!!

"Amanda was very informative and if we had any questions in the lab she explained it in multiple ways to help us all understand."

Very few complete the evals so not many to choose from....

I love the "multiple ways" comment because this is so essential to great teaching. Good on you!

Love this! 💜

I used to make a Canva graphic of all my best student comments each year because this job is hard and sometimes you need the reminder. Especially women who can get eaten alive in evals for non-academic issues. :-) #WomenInStem

I agree. I thought spreading some evals positivity would be refreshing at the start of the new semester. Good idea with the Canva graphic.

I have a "kindness" email folder that captures nice student emails/comments. I also make a folder of student comments and refer to it when things are rough.

Same! Also I include them in my electronic portfolio for when I’m come up for tenure. If I come up for tenure bc Florida…. 😳

"He said he has 2 espressos before he arrives, and it shows! He's enthusiastic, passionate, and the university is lucky to have him."

I spit choked on my 2nd espresso and laughed when I read that. Really nice to read.
