I’M SHOCKED, SHOCKED, AT SUCH EVIDENCE OF SUPERFICIALITY:

James Felton, a professor of finance and law at Central Michigan University, and a colleague looked at ratings for nearly 7,000 faculty members from 370 institutions in the United States and Canada, and his verdict is: the hotter and easier professors are, the more likely they’ll get rated as a good teacher.

Education, as they say, is the only consumer product where the consumer is out to get as little as possible for the money.
