Thanks to MTVu, professors now have the opportunity to respond to anonymous comments on RateMyProfessors.com. Cool!
OK, I've officially found the coolest thing on the Web in a long time, thanks to MTVu. It's a format for professors to respond to anonymous student comments on RateMyProfessors.com. It's brutally honest and it's hilarious. Check it out:
The comments about me on RateMyProfessors.com are fine, so there's no need for me to respond to those. But the comments about me on the MySpace "Grade My Professor" page are nasty. Here's the worst.
"Worst teacher I have ever had at ANY level. She honestly seems a little retarded, and she can't give a lecture at all. On top of that she expects way too much considering she is a bad teacher. AVOID AT ALL COSTS."
In the spirit of Professors Strike Back, here's my response:
No, I never expected too much from my students, especially in the easy 100 level pop culture class you apparently took from me. If you couldn't keep up with the workload in there, maybe you're the retarded one.
And don't worry. Avoiding me at any cost will be easy. I'm not a professor anymore. And the best part of that is, I don't have to deal with rude, ungrateful students like yourself who don't have the class to tell me what they think of me to my face.
Hmmm. That felt good.
