Course Evaluations for Autumn 2002 are up. Sadly, these can only be read on the U of C server, so here are some highlights.

Comments from the class that I TA'd--
About the instructor--
Difficult to understand :4
Does not always explain of [sic] teach things well
Handwriting was difficult to read
Instructor did not tell students the material covered for examinations

About me--
TA held problem sessions, that were beneficial to students progress
TA was unenthusiastic [guilty -- ed]
TA was helpful.

Too bad I didn't get to fill out an evaluation...

From Complex:
Reminded me why I wanted to major in this subject [Might be my comment, I don't remember -- ed]
TA seemed to get irritated if he had to explain something multiple times

From the endlessly long Byzantine History class:
Q: Which texts were most useful? Which least? A: Didn't read enough to say.
Just sort of rambled
he gave stream of consciousness lectures
Has a semi-rambling lecture style
a tendency to ramble [sense a theme here? -- ed]

Amusing stuff from old quarters--
From physics with Mr. Crack addict:
Obviously been a long time since he's taught first years his theories and the way to teach were poorly suited to the class and probably teaching in general. His rant about ineptitude of other physicists and things should be, while entertaining, at first became stock, caused me to lose all interesting in pursuing physics further.
Not all of us know how to build hang-gliders. Especially not from jungle-tree leaves. He's [sic] teaching methods were confusing, the logical progressions was difficult to follow. [because of the CRACK -- ed]
Don't let [professor] teach anything. Or only grad courses.
This course made me not want to be a physics major. Thanks. Also, actually having a textbook would be nice.

From Music 101:
The book was fine, the Mozart was unnecessary.
[A description of the instructor:] Pretentious
This course was an outrage. The work load for a 101 class was absurd. We had 4 papers, a midterm, and a final
