I happened to stumble into myspace’s professor grading system and was laughing at some of the report cards student have given some of my old professor’s until I realized I could possibly be on this site too. Suddenly panicked, I searched for my name, and sure enough it was listed. I have no worries, though. The first student’s comment had me rolling.
P.S. For my Japanese friends: In this case “the shit” is a good thing. It’s slang for “最高”。 (Or “saikou” if your computer doesn’t read Japanese characters.)
P.P.S. Don’t ask me why.
That’s adorable. You are cool as hell, mr barzak.
It’s so wonderful that they realise what a good teacher you are and how lucky they are.
I am compelled to say, “Aw, shucks.” I feel lucky to have thoughtful students, too. This semester especially I am getting the most remarkable essays I’ve ever read from students before. I’ve changed up some of my teaching strategies and personality, though, and I think that’s why.
