One of the joys of being an intro computer science instructor is the pleasure of being evaluated by undergrads on a quarterly basis. Below are a few of my favorites from among the many insightful comments I have received. Winter 1991: "Jeff made CIS 211 interesting. This is no small feat..." "Compared to what I was told about you, you are better than I expected." Autumn 1990: "I think in the future you should find an instructor who knows all about Macs and who likes them." -- I'd rather use a better computer than a different instructor, but to each his own. "Difficult course matter, takes a lot more than just class time to learn." -- I guess a number of courses don't require any time outside class. "Tried to be funny -- wasn't." Spring 1989: "...he made the best out of an unbearable situation." "Incredibly boring." -- Up until then, I hadn't realized I had a credibility problem. "Jeff reminds me of Chevy Chase.... I'm real glad he speaks English -- that's hard to find at OSU" -- I was really hoping to be compared to Steve Martin or Gerald Ford. "You're a great teacher, but I hate this class." "Maybe an eraser fight is in your future." -- Edited by Brad Templeton. MAIL your jokes (jokes ONLY) to funny@looking.ON.CA Attribute the joke's source if at all possible. A Daemon will auto-reply.
