<p>Read Peter Sacks's book <i>Generation X Goes to College</i> (Open Court, Chicago, 1996), at least through chapter 9. Case study of negative correlation between eval scores and teaching quality, and a how-to manual on manipulating your ratings. Despite coming from a different field, Sacks's story in chapter 2 about his threatening student "Pete" almost exactly mirrored some of my experiences pre-tenure.</p>
