Could the “Can you hear us now?” editorial be any more whiney? The role of a misunderstood, whine-aholic college student who completely denies that anyone older than 30 actually cares about what he or she thinks is almost as annoying as it is pathetic.
You don’t know what an influence student evaluations have because you’re not backstage in the offices and meeting rooms where all the magic happens.
My mom is a dean at a university, so I have been lucky enough to score a peek into the world most students never know about.
My mom has given countless presentations to teachers explaining the importance of student evaluations and how they can learn and improve from them. She has also fired teachers with overwhelmingly negative and unimproving evaluations.
So don’t ignorantly assume that your voice isn’t heard just because you’re not on the receiving end.
