Lecturer's Evaluation
At the end of every semester, the power lies in the hands of the students. To be more specific, at the tips of our fingers. After we get our results, we are usually asked to do this evaluation of the lecturers, to help the school administration to judge whether or not this lecturer did a good job or not. I guess it is their way of keeping the quality in check, to hire more quality lecturers and kick out the rotten ones in existence in our campus. There are a few rotten ones, but none of them can be as rotten as the person I evaluated. If you have been a faithful reader of this blog, you might have already guessed who I am referring to below. This is the exact evaluation I sent out to the school administration, and if this does not cause a ripple in the school, then I am going to burn something down when school reopens. Just you wait.
Rosemary once publicly made a racist remark in class, which offended a whole bunch of people. She was quoted as saying that Chinese students are usually the ones that lie and cheat, and such things do not happen in American institutions. This happened after some students were caught plagiarizing from Wikipedia for a certain chapter summary we were supposed to do, and I felt that it was inappropriate and tactless on her part to make such a sweeping statement about Chinese, especially when she is a Chinese herself. I feel that racism against your own race is worse than racism against others, and she was rather defensive of her stand that day about her unbalanced and unjust views. A lot of us were offended that day, simply because we were being labeled as cheaters and liars because of our own race. Truth to be told, our respect for her wasn't very high that day, and I guess she just made he reputation shoot through the rock bottom.
I feel that the school should really consider removing this teacher, as she is potentially harmful to the grades of the students. It is natural for students to trust our lecturers, to have at least that faith that he or she is going to tell us useful and trustworthy informations. To tell us the wrong chapters to student for the finals was definitely something that cannot be tolerated. We were misled into student the wrong chapters, played around like idiots and she is just sitting there at the back of the class taking in the pay while doing nothing at all. That is not to mention the fact that she lost a bunch of our homework and assignments, and preached about us being late for class when she was herself late in numerous occasions. Please reconsider having Rosemary as a Communications lecturer, as I feel that she is detrimental to the reputation of the school and the morale of the students in the long run."

"Doctor Rosemary never gave out any handouts in class. The ones that she did give us weren't important - as she herself mentioned the moment she handed out those papers. They were not organized text at all, and they were just chunks of articles abstracted from an external source. I won't say she covered adequately what the syllabus was supposed to cover, since she only really taught for three or four lectures - and half of those lectures were spent lecturing the students about punctuality most of the time.
Rosemary very cleverly evicted her responsibilities by asking the students to facilitate the classes she is supposed to teach. She divides the students up to the number of groups according to the number of chapters she is supposed to teach, then she asks each group to teach that specific chapter to the class so she won't need to teach herself. For the most part of the semester, she spent the time at the back of the class evaluating the presentations rather than teaching us anything useful. Naturally, as students, our comprehension of various chapters won't nearly be as good as herself, which made things very difficult for us because she refused to teach us at all.
That is not to mention the fact that right before the finals, she told us that only five chapters would be covered for the 25 question MCQ. In the end, five questions from those five chapters came out, while the other twenty questions were from chapters that she did not ask us to study at all. I feel that such a misleading lecturer should not remain in our institution, if we really want to preserve our pride and dignity.
