Classes to transcend must be risky,

Quantity and quality are essentially incompatible. Quantity affects what can be measured, what is physical, while quality affects what is subjective, what is personal, and is individually tangible <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Campbell\u2019s law states that evaluating people quantitatively degenerates and the opposite results to those sought are obtained. One class might seem good to one student, but awful to another. Why? Nowadays, many students seek short cuts, incorrectly learn that what is easy is worthwhile. Today\u2019s youths tend to clumsily value what is easy because they are not used to making the effort and to meeting demands. Excellence is the habit of doing things properly. The sublime is making what is difficult easy. Although capacities and talents exist, plenty of training is necessary to achieve excellence, which only comes after much training and is, thus, accomplished after it has become a habit. Vocation also has an influence because effort, perseverance and discipline tire much less than those who do not like performing certain activities. Is the opinion of a good student the same as that of a mediocre student? Does the time when asked have an impact? Let\u2019s imagine a class in which most students are not motivated, lazy and lack talent. The best thing to be done with their questionnaires is to forget them, unless their votes are sought. University access tests in Spain are so deficient that quite a number of students in today\u2019s classes of the first courses are badly educated in effort and demand, see teachers as obstacles for passing and practice victimisation. We frequently find at university spelling mistakes, errors in elementary operations and terrible handwriting. Students lack the capacity to express themselves. Excessive screen use harms students\u2019 habits, but also those of teachers. When teaching with screens, information quickly passes, and one needs to be an expert to measure the time and pace to complement visible text in oral discourse. During conferences, most presenters do not know how to present their communications. Alabis are not lacking: digitised information is now available to students; courses can be repeated, but there are also excuses for eliminating risks of insecure teachers. Like good bullfighting, a good class must incur risk to transcend and influence, and cannot become routine. Every class should be like a set of bullfighter passes, with teachers being booed or applauded. Teachers who do not take risks do not transcend. As with bullfighting, some fans understand, while others merely applaud. Some demanding bullrings have not cut a bull\u2019s tail off in a decade, and others give \u201cbull\u2019s ears\u201d away. The view to be free must avoid conflicts of interest and must be done after students have passed a subject, and the next course, so that students show their ability and are not interesting in being evaluated for a subject. At some universities, teacher appraisal surveys are done during the course when teachers set students exams. Another matter is what is asked and if students tell the truth. Therefore, surveys have many limitations, and can definitely not be a determining factor for teachers\u2019 teaching appraisals. The main difference between the public and the private university is not the cost of teaching, but both the politicisation and bureaucracy of the public university. So much energy is spent on the public university, on elections and bureaucracy, but the worst is the bad habits that might be practiced with surveys. Some deans are so radical about the importance of surveys that they link aid for Faculties with surveys. As students know, they coerce teachers with all types of demands and know that teachers\u2019 surveys will be bad if they do not give in to students. According to Campbell\u2019s Law, the consequence is that the preponderance of surveys will deteriorate this Faculty\u2019s teaching. As with bullfighting, neither the best teachers have the best surveys nor the best bullfighters have more cut \u201cbull\u2019s ears\u201d or are hired for more bullfights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
