The composite scoring of the multiple-choice part of the survey showed very low scores as well. The students who took this survey scored me in the bottom 2% of 35771 courses ever taught at Wichita State (since this survey started being given, at least).
The feedback from previous classes I taught tended to be of the opposite nature so its a bit tricky to figure out how to interpret these results.
Well, you can't win them all but least there was this:
"Basically you're a super harsh teacher but I learned a lot in class. I know you will be a lot of backlash because this class had a bunch of assholes in it who got by in their other classes by having a super easy teacher or copying shit and that's practically impossible to do in your class. I think you were a good teacher."
