    Funny, John Hopkins was a respectable school. I wonder what happened.

    Wait, is that where House practices medicine?

      I had people saying I was the most horrid TA ever for years, and never had a mention. Then one semester I was doing a decent job, but the professor came and discovered that I had been letting out the discussion section early (if they had no questions, I told them they could go).

      I then got a reprimand.

      I had friends who had glowing reports from all their students all the time, the friend who got the TA reward didn't have these, but the Prof. liked him.

      So what you're saying is KH sucks (his prof off)?

        Well, that certainly might be an effective use of his time...
        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck.

            Actually, this isn't true. Here a large part of the determination is based off of student evaluations.

            In fact, unless a prof goes out of the way, this is the SOLE determinant of who wins it.

            Which is why I had a very irresponsible subordinate TA win the award a couple of years ago (he disappeared instead of showing up to grade part of the final exam, as was his responsibility). I was quite angry with that, actually.

            Payback.

              Also, House isn't real.

                  IIRC it's Johns Hopkins. Like the Brothers Grimm.

                    I think the award is like 500 bucks.

                    COKE AND HOS MONEY!

                      It is, in fact, Johns Hopkins.

                      If a speaker comes and puts "John Hopkins" on his title slide then we all boo.

                        Getting a similar award from my dept this sememster. More due to logistics necessary to keep the class running (largest class in the dept. by a factor of two) than any special attention I paid to the students.

                        Will be helpful 'cuz I'll be unemployed for a couple months. Dunno how large it'll be, but I'm hoping that it can cover rent (at $215/mo right now).
