A WINTER in EVENINGSTAR

[Mahiro Satsu]

Yes they were sanctioned by AU, but I think the UN protested...

He took the worst written sections out of everyone's papers and put them all in one document. Then he made lots of copies and passed them out. We were made to correct and comment on all of them in class. He is a mean one, that Glen.

I was fine with it, most of my paper was rather well written, IMAO, but some of the girls were rather upset...

 

[Tom Cashel]

You're a mean one...Mr. Grinch--er, Glen

Yeah, we'll just have to lay waste to his precious adventure. Revenge for previous iniquities!! Prepare to be boarded, Monte.

 

[Van Dyksun]

To paraphrase someone, "this isn't writing--this is typing."

Ellen says she found a cool Realms version of the Excel template HeroForge. I can't wait to see it!

 

[Van Dyksun]

Interesting. Nobody told me they felt uncomfortable with it at the time. Of course, if they had taken a little bit more time to proofread their writing....

(Something I do not do here, considering this is breaking from work, I'm just doing a "type and run" as it is....)

 

[Tom Cashel]

They were undergrads. They deserved it.

I'm also pretty amped to check out the RealmsForge!

...and it's right here.

 

[Mahiro Satsu]

Dearest Tom,

you anger the undergrads, they give you crappy evaluations. you wanna fight, mr. i graduated a decade ago?

 

[Tom Cashel]

Now wait a minute...

I graduated two years ago.

With a Master's.

Evaluations? Pfft. Most drunken undergrads aren't clever enough to look up those evals before they take a class. And the tenured faculty couldn't care less.

But the adjunct staff like Glen...now there's another story...

"Hell hath no fury like an undergrad humiliated..."

 

[Van Dyksun]

The funny thing about evaluations...

What most students complain about on the evaluations turns out to be looked favorably upon by the administration.

"The books he assigned were too difficult."
"Too much writing."
"We were required to work together too much."

That stuff the admins see as positives, not negatives.

Now, if the students said things like:

"I didn't have to work at all to get an A on a paper. Glen's great!"
"The writing tasks were exactly the same I took in high school."
"I don't think we did enough work."

Then, there might be a problem.

Good thing you guys can't give me an eval for DMing.

 

[Mahiro Satsu]

the professor

Did you figure out who said what? Could you pin-point mine?

 

[Tom Cashel]

This gaming board has gone waaaaay downhill...

Nice steering back onto topic, Monte. I'll have the eval forms printed up for the 29th.
