The combination of college students struggling, professors struggling, and institutions struggling to support both will probably show up in the worst ways in students' course evaluations. #highereducation #highered #teaching
@kevinrmcclure I have definitely been hearing about poorer course evaluations at my institution this term. I think the lack of humanity, compassion, and addressing of ongoing harm and trauma from COVID have been contributors to this. A TA strike didn't help things. I saw lots of excitement at the start of the term which quickly descended at the onset of midterms.
I think this is a call and opportunity for us as university instructors to critically examine course instruction, pedagogy, and to take a more humanizing approach to teaching.
