The New York Times must read our blog


In light of Ed’s brilliant piece about having his students evaluate his performance midway through the semester, the grey lady of newspapers published a whole piece on the subject of professorial assessment. It’s on page A-18 of today’s paper. The idea of both Ed’s and the New York Times’ pieces is that we spend a lot of time assessing our students but hardly ever bother to ask the students how we’re doing. And, both suggest, it’s not such a bad idea to ask.

Anyone else do this? How?
