I found the article to be quite insightful in some regards to the certain biases within

teaching evaluations that people of different sexes face. I found it intriguing that women often

receive more personal oriented evaluations compared to men. The example of women being

judged more because of their fashion and appearance than men to be thought-provoking. I do see

the logic in it as female fashion is often more personalized to the person compared to men and

one would make the presumption that the way women dress reflect themselves more than it does

men. But then again, you should never judge a book by its cover. It's shallow and distasteful to

write an evaluation of a professor/instructor based off of nonrelevant things such as that.

Evaluations should be based on academic value, teaching skill, and methodology. The idea that

there should be "Bonus Points", however, is wrong. You can't just give a handicap to a group of

people because of individualized phenomena. The evaluations are the opinions of the students,

and if the student's collective opinion is against an instructor, the instructor is most likely not an

effective teacher. Evaluations should be read by higher-ups purely in regard to teaching value

rather than personal opinions and students should look past the differences in those around them

and focus on the quality of their education. This isn't middle school.
