This was taken from MIT's Course Evaluation Guide, Fall, 1991 The Best and Worst Comments Received:

• Text is useless. I use it to kill roaches in my room.
• He teaches like Speedy Gonzalez on a caffeine high.
• In class, the syllabus is more important than you are.
• Help! I've fallen asleep and I can't wake up!
• Text makes a satisfying 'thud' when dropped on the floor.
• The class is worthwhile because I need it for the degree.
• His blackboard technique puts Rembrandt to shame
• Textbook is confusing...someone with a knowledge of English should proofread it.
• Have you ever fallen asleep in class and awoke in another? That's the way I felt all term.
• This class was a religious experience for me...I had to take it all on faith.
• The recitation instructor would make a good parking lot attendant.
• Tries to tell you where to go, but you can never understand him.
• Problems sets are a decoy to lure you away from potential exam material.
• Recitation was great. It was so confusing that I forgot who I was, where I was, and what I was doing--It's a great stress reliever.
• He is one of the best teachers I have had...He is well-organized, presents good lectures, and creates interest in the subject. I hope my comments don't hurt his chances of getting tenure.
• I would sit in class and stare out the window at the squirrels. They've got a cool nest in the tree.
• The absolute value of the TA was less than epsilon.
• TA steadily improved throughout the course...I think he started drinking and it really loosened him up.
• Information was presented like a ruptured fire hose--spraying in all directions--no way to stop it.
• I never bought the text. My $60 was better spent on the Led Zeppelin tapes that I used while doing the problem sets
• What's the quality of the text? 'Text is printed on high quality paper.'
• The course was very thorough. What wasn't covered in class was covered on the final exam.
