Teaching evaluations

It's always fun to read teaching evaluations after the semester has ended. For those teachers out there, I recommend sitting while you read over them because inevitably you'll laugh so hard you'll need to steady yourself. One semester a student critiqued not my teaching but my clothing, noting that I needed to dress my age and "wear cute skirts and tops." And this past semester's crop of evaluations didn't fail to make me laugh: one student, when asked "what personal qualities or teaching skills of the instructor contributed to the success of the course?" observed that I was "intellegent." Mind you, these are college students.
