No worries though. I have built my own reputation over time and this doesn’t happen now. Whatever you choose to do just be consistent and understanding.
The accuracy. I started teaching courses once taught by someone who was notorious for easy As. The first time I taught it I was told I should be fired for how hard my class was.
Sounds like a dream
I do this same thing but book our computer lab and I will never go back.
Recently did a podcast with NPR-NH and had a GREAT time! Interested in term limits? Give it a listen www.civics101podcast.org/civics-101-e...

Crowdsourcing ?: the bias of student course evaluations is well documented. Do any folks know of research about using interviews with students to evaluate faculty teaching? Or general thoughts on this practice for tenure and promotion?
The book is now available online and for pre-order, Part I covers all the differences between and types of limits and more. link.springer.com/book/10.1007...
Gearing up for the book release so I am sharing some of my fav term limit facts. First, term limits are NOT binary. In fact, we have 4 types of term limits and these distinctions matter for how we evaluate limits and our lawmakers. Promise.
