: Did anyone else catch the totally false statement at the end of the evaluation email???
: "be aware that the same deductions were applied to all students" - barnette
: ok, i respect this man, but that's just politically correct BS!
: a more true statement would be:
: "be aware that the same deductions were applied to the other students sharing your TA"
: yes, i'm bitching (before mquain needlessly points that out). The fact is, the grading in this course was unfair.
: Now, I must admit I believe that Mcquain and Barnette tried to assure fairness while setting up the class structure (grading checklists, etc), however they did a poor job of monitoring throughout, and the TAs should have been rotated 3x rather than once.
: sure life is usually unfair, but that doesn't justify anything.
