Are you an above average professor?

...or do you at least THINK you are?

I recently heard on CNN that 96% of college professors think they are above average teachers.

Ha, I thought.  I know I am above average.


But based on what?   I have student evaluations and peer evaluations that say I am above average.  But how do I *know* that I am above average if I don't get to see others' evaluations?


How do you know an above average prof from an average prof?  Or  (gulp!) a below average professor?
