        The Best and Worst Comments Received

This class was a religious experince for me...

I had to take it all on faith.

Text makes a satisfying 'thud' when dropped on the floor.

The class is worthwhile because I need it for the degree.

His blackboard technique puts Rembrandt to shame.

Textbook is confusing ... someone with a knowledge of English should
proofread it.

Have you ever fallen asleep in class and awoke in another?  That's the
way I felt all term.

In class I learned that I can fudge answers and get away with it.

Keep lecturer or tenure board will be shot.

The recitation instructor would make a good parking lot attendant.

Tries to tell you where to go, but you can never understand him.

Test is useless.  I use it to kill roaches in my room.

In class the syllabus is more important than you are.

I am convinced that you can learn by osmosis by just sitting in his
class.

Help!  I've fallen asleep and I can't wake up!

Problem sets are a decoy to lure you away from potential exam
material.

Recitation was great.  It was so confusing that I forgot who I was,
where I was, and what I was doing -- It's a great stress reliever.

He is one of the best teachers I have had...He is well-organized,
presents good lectures, and creates interest in the subject.  I hope
my comments don't hurt his chances of getting tenure.

I would sit in class and stare out the window at the squirrels.

They've got a cool nest in the tree.

He teaches like Speedy Gonzalez on a caffeine high.

This course kept me out of trouble from 2-4:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Most of us spent the first three weeks terrified of the class.  Then
solidarity kicked in.

Bogus number crunching.  My HP is exhausted.

The absolute value of the TA was less than epsilon.

TA steadily improved thoughout the course...I think he started
drinking and it really loosened him up.

Information was presented like a ruptured fire hose -- spraying in all
directions -- no way to stop it.

What was the quality of the text?  The text was printed on 'high
quality' paper.
