All of my classes for next semester have, by the standards of PermaU, relatively long wait lists. Depending on whom I talk to, this indicates one of the following:
1. I am a good teacher, so students want to take my class.
or
2. I am too easy, so students want to take my class.
My teaching evaluations point to the former, but some of my more vocal colleagues insist that long wait lists are only because students want easy As.
So perhaps I am too easy or maybe a combo of #1 and #2. Is it common knowledge that long wait lists directly correlate with the ease of the course?
