This semester is drawing to close. Well, Spring Break hasn’t even begun yet (next week!!!), but all the signs are that summer is not far… Soon, it will be Student Evaluations time. I guess every University has them but every universtity use them in a different way. Here I want to talk about different kind of evaluations.
Students talk about teachers: http://www.ratemyprofessors.com

Check them out, quite an interesting read…
No we dont, people abuse authority, age affects people’s views on respecting.
We should all respect eachother as we are all human.
No-one is better than anyone!
we are all human yet we are all different, not one of us are the same as another person but we should all show respect to eachother.
We all live on the same planet and no one is better or worse than any other person.
Great words, Amy! I wish everybody could understand this. The point is how to apply it to local scale — sometimes I get students in my class (especially when teaching large undergraduate clasees) who talk during my lectures, send SMS messages, etc. Do they respect me? When student tries to cheat during an exanm does he/she respect me and what I teach?
And in not-so-rare cases I see an attitude “everybody should respect ME!” Yes, but what about YOU respecting others?
