@PhilosophyExp Like that's a bad thing?
20 years ago, when I used to lecture, the words "arrogant" & "condescending" used to crop up quite frequently in student evalutions.

@D4M10N@PhilosophyExp It's bad if you want people to learn from you =P -
@FutureTemple@D4M10N Really? Is there evidence that students learn less well if they perceive a lecturer to be arrogant and condescending? -
@PhilosophyExp@D4M10N Even if you don't "like" your teachers you should at least respect them. That's tough if the condescend. -
@FutureTemple@D4M10N Thx. Could you cite the evidence? I've always wondered about the value of these evaluations. -
@PhilosophyExp@D4M10N Sure. Student evaluations tend not to be the way these things are worked out though - they can be dodgy. -
@FutureTemple@D4M10N Thing is I was lecturing aged 23. I think it would have been hard not to have been seen as arrogant, etc.
