It's time for student evaluations!

Among the comments garnered this year:

• "There's only three teachers [sic] that have effected [sic] me, inside and out of the classroom, making me a better person.  [Piers] is the third."
  
• "I wouldn't do so much poetry, poetry is nessecary [sic] but not excessive amounts."
  
• "I would like it if he tried not to cuss but that's just me"  [oops. I just get carried away.]
  
• "The way he allowed himself to birdwalk at times was good."  [birdwalk??]
  
• "The analyzation was a key thing for me."
  
• "This man needs a laptop to reference certain academic materials mentioned in class."
  
• "Sometimes too funny, off topic."  [TOO FUNNY!!  hahahaha]
  
• "no bullcrap."
  
• "Never mention Monty Python in class. Ever." [fat chance, sister]

As usual, I got props for being "enthusiastic" and "caring," and had many students who found the lyric poetry frustrating.  I also got the usual, and still mystifying, request for "more grades" in the class.
