I would have given him a medal for shutting down that rogue student, as would have my classmates. | |

I want to know that I was accessible, answered all questions and did it well, and that I always treated students with respect. As a former entrepreneur, I come to teaching with the attitude that my students are my customers and "the customer is always right". (Well, maybe not always, but you get the idea.) If they complain about anything, I want to fix it if I can because that's what they deserve. | |
