The course evaluation is out. I like the fact that the students liked it
I put down the averages and standard deviations for my Section, and compare them with the average scores of the school as well as with those of the University.
My friend Jiayin’s research shows that for high scores, a smaller standard deviation is a good thing. Given that the scores are high in general, many of the small Std. Dev. values show that the students consistently thinks that I am a good professor.
