Every semester, students get to rate me 1 through 10, and they can write comments about me. I don't get to read them until the beginning of the next semester.
I always face these things with trepidation. I'm made of pretty stern stuff, and I know that a lot of the negative comments come from students who didn't really apply themselves, but I always resist reading them regardless.
I just looked through last semester's reviews. Not only did I get some of the highest scores to date, I got a lot of positive comments. Lots of stuff about how they appreciated my study guides and exam reviews. Lots and lots of comments about how I know my material (an issue which always makes me nervous, since I cover such a large span of time and can't be an expert in everything).
No mentions of the Black Death being a cover-up for a zombie apocalypse, but I can't have everything.
Really the only complaint I regularly got was that I require a lot of reading. Welcome to Humanities. Get over it. It's a reading-intensive subject. Nothing I can do about that.
Happy, happy happy dance.
