I've benefited very much from taking courses from professors who have a really bad english, are not good at communicating or keeping you interested during the lecture. But their notes were amazing: there was a clear logical progression, everything was very well defined, and most importantly, the course was challenging and the problem sets made you think. At the time, I would have rated them as bad teachers due to their poor communication abilities. In retrospect, I would much prefer a bad communicator to an excellent professor with unstructured notes. <br />So maybe teacher evaluations should be done after students are done with the course and exams, and not during the year. That way they could compare what they have learnt in that course to other ones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159906646513306121.post-60326894048265348982011-05-12T09:30:23.652-07:002011-05-12T09:30:23.652-07:00As far as I can see, the study - and the results -...As far as I can see, the study - and the results - are very similar to Carrell & West, 2010 (http://www.jstor.org/pss/10.1086/653808)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
