[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They also need to focus on the professor side of the coin: general disinterest in teaching undergrads and lack of engagement with them. Harvard is known for that, and I believe it's the primary reason the UG reputation is rather weak.[/quote]

Not sure how Harvard does it but they need to get rid of teacher evaluations by students. There's a correlation with poor effort and lack of attendance leading to poor evaluations when grades inevitably suffer.[/quote]

Absolutely agree. The teaching evaluations have no merit and just feed the entitlement of students.

Meanwhile at teaching institutions like Top LACs, teaching evaluations are taken very seriously. It’s almost like…you’re speaking nonsense.[/quote] Huh? Not sure you understood. Teaching evaluations by cannot be taken seriously because students are not trained to do so and they have their own agendas.  
The biggest indicator of good teaching evaluations is the high grades. You are kidding yourself if you think that LACs are any different. [/quote]
