Oh, I feel badly for the anonymous student this past semester who wrote the following comment in the eVAL course evaluation for the LIS 5033 class: “The instructor should give explicit directions with rubrics for everything.”

How could I not have noticed that someone was that unsuited for graduate-level work?

What a terrible time this person will have in the rest of the program, let alone in the profession, with that kind of expectation, obviously focused on the getting of “points” to the exclusion of getting the real point of “Information & the Knowledge Society.”

And didn’t even win a free iPad from eValuate.

*sigh*

Update: Upon reflection, since the evaluation was online (just like the course itself, lol!), perhaps I am taking this comment out of context. I just don’t think that anyone who managed to survive a whole semester with me (without dropping the course!) could have written this. (Except to tease , in which case it certainly worked!)
