...curriculum.Furthermore, the Faculty repeatedly balked at making teaching evaluations mandatory for all courses. Far from creating a “Harvard version of RateMyProfessor.com,” as one professor claimed at a Faculty meeting, evaluations are a valuable tool for pedagogical improvement, without which teachers are essentially feedback-blind. Though few professors opt out of such evaluations, leaving the option open at all amounts to providing a sop to professors’ whims and egos. While the Faculty did vote to mandate evaluations of all teaching fellows (TFs)—a critical step in the University?...
...Roberto M. Unger: “To gain freedom of insight and action in a more remote context, often at the price of ineptitude in an immediate one, is a definition of genius.” Without geniuses there would be no intellectual situation to speak of, only hollow feedback, the sound of measuring tapes flapping and brows furrowing.

Many farmers routinely go into debt to the very traders who buy their produce and then sell them seeds and fertilizers for the next crop.

Making the evaluations available after final exams would not only alleviate this pressure; it would also allow the incorporation of feedback on a course’s final in a student’s responses. We find the argument that a student’s experience with a course’s final will skew his or her responses unconvincing; final exams are integral to a course’s substance...
