        All I can say is this: there must be far more students whose sole
purpose is to make instructors lives miserable than I was ever aware.  Is the
"average" student really so vindictive as to use the evaluation form as an
outlet for "potshots?"  It seems astounding to me that this would be true.
        While I don't doubt for a moment that some students' evaluations are
[ack-line noise!]

common behavior.   I have discussed many instructors with my peers, and quite
often heard comments to the effect of, "well, I did 'okay' in the class
[despondent expression], but I really didn't try as hard as I should have.
She's [the instructor] pretty decent."
        This is by no means an exaggeration.  "
"What'd ya give 'im?" is a common question heard between students after
filling out the evaluation forms, and far more often than not I hear
positive comments.  Just how many cruel-hearted students, totally devoid of
any modicum of objectivity, are lurking out there?
        I would suggest far fewer than seems to be popularly believed in
the conversation going on here.
