I hate evaluating myself, too.(I'm thinking "so brave!1" did us both some damage. I always heard it on a most-miserable day. It's made it hard to trust myself, and, relatedly feel that other people are, being 100,. Jen,I've tried to accept that even Neighbor Kid wasn't trying to be a dick, but I don't really enjoy picking up his mantel,

I have never been able to write a good thing about myself. College applications were pure hell for me. So, I feel for you, Hil. Honestly the dislike you get on your feedback could be prejudice for disability, not that that would go over well on a review.

Yeah, I thought of that, or that some of it could be because I wear an N95 for teaching, and they don't like seeing it. But there's no good way to put that into this, so I'm just focusing on all the individual things that they said I did well, and kind of skipping over the "overall, what is your rating of this instructor?" numbers.

That sounds like the way to go. Self-evals are the worst

It may make you feel better to hear that I did some kind of enrichment program one summer in high school (I think) where we took a classes at LSU that weren’t, like, real classes with college students in them but were taught by professors (or adjuncts or whatever, I have no idea, but not TAs or grad students) and one of them told us all that he got really good evaluations from his students but he knew it was just because he was entertaining and not necessarily that they learned all that much from him. I can’t remember what class that even was but him complaining about how they were evaluated even though it was to his benefit really stuck in my head.

Guess who has brain damage and more unpaid assignments. I'm so thrilled to be on the precinct committee right now. I'll be trying to get commitments out of twenty-year-olds that just moved to town. After I do that, I'll get monkeys to fly out my butt. I have *got* to table that monologue about "If You Want Something Impossible, Ask a Disabled Person." I'm too fucking good at that shit,,,shouldn't saving the world be sexy or something?1

I finished and submitted all my paperwork. It's not great, but it's done. And I'm halfway convinced that it'll get some automatic rejection because a lot of the classes I took for professional development have words like "equity" and "inclusion" in their names.
