My workplace, as with every one, has an annual employee review process. The whole process is a farce as the results are evaluated and changed to make sure certain special groups score the same results as everyone else.
Oops, even at Berkeley.
Yeah, thatll work. Deny reality and hide in your pretend world.
So the sucky affirmative action hires get lousy evaluations? Who’d have guessed? But, hey, no problem. Just abolish evaluations. Problem solved!
Test after test, exam after exam, all show the same thing. Chinese/Japanese, then Whitebread Whitey, then Hispanics, then Blacks.
Given the weight of all these exams, a rational person would take a look at them and see, notice, and admit what they are proving.
Professor DeLay admits that his teaching has improved because he learned from evaluations that were made about his classes. But all the evaluations should be scrapped because they are biased. Huh? Which is it, professor? Oh, ok, your bias overrules empiricism and logic.
You’re a fool.
Maybe it’s because overall, white male professors didn’t have the benefit of being an Affirmative Action hire.
At Berkeley? My guess would be that those indoctrinated students would distort the evaluations in favor of female instructors and "people of color".
But wait, there's more! Are they allowed to refer to someone as "female" at Berkeley?
30 years ago when the University of Dayton first introduced student evals as a key to tenure and promotion, I warned them then it was a terrible idea.
It’s like you evaluating your doctor immediately after surgery, without knowing if the surgery was a success or not. The students simply lack proper information to do an analysis.
I always scored very high, one semester getting a 3.9 out of a 4.0. But I never thought student evals were meaningful.
Now they are coming back to bite the libs in the butt.
LOL - the 'speaking truth to power' thing is really going to bite bogus 'professors' who got their positions based on skin color and squish between their legs...
Dumb liberals, all they need to do is have a different set of questions for the different groups. Just like pollster questions. Tailor the question to the answer you want. Sometimes liberals cant even follow their own rule book.
