COMIC BOOK JOB EVALUATIONS: Ray Palmer

Hello, and welcome to Job Evaluations. We stumbled upon a box of files here at the iFanboy HQ. Inside that box were performance reviews for jobs kept by many of the characters we read about week to week. Let’s dive in!

Today’s evaluation:

NAME: Ray Palmer

OCCUPATION: Professor

SCHOOL: Ivy University

EVALUATED BY: Ivy’s Students

Every semester, professors must hand out evaluation forms to their students. We came across three forms from Ray Palmer’s class. Here are their highlights.

PUNCTUALITY AND REGULARITY – Poor
“Dr. Ray Palmer was often late for his own class or he would send a sub. There were a lot of substitutes.”
“He would rush in just in time but would be all flustered. Sometimes he looked like he just had gotten into a fight or something. He was very strange.”
“If the professor doesn’t show up within the first ten minutes, everyone gets to leave right? That’s the rule isn’t? I announced it at the beginning of class everyday.”

SUBJECT KNOWLEDGE – AVERAGE
“Dr. Ray Palmer knows everything but sometimes he would be really distracted by stuff outside the classroom.”
“He would take personal calls a lot. Once I swear he got into an argument with his wife. Very unprofessional.”
“He never let us have class outside! Not once! I asked this everyday.”

TEACHING MATERIALS/STYLE – Poor
“It would have helped if he projected his voice a little louder during lectures.”
“His handwriting was very tiny on the blackboard. I could barely read it.”
“He didn’t get me excited about the material. That’s his fault right!”

TESTING – Poor
“He handed out a test and still had the study guide notes up on the blackboard.”
“Once while we took an exam, he sat at his desk and stared at a picture of what I am assuming is his wife. Then he began to sob. It was very distracting.”
“He said we wouldn’t have to know dates. And one of the tests had dates on it. I brought this up everyday!”

FINAL THOUGHTS
“I would not recommend him as a teacher. He also was never at his scheduled office hours. I even tried to follow him one day to talk about an exam and it was as if he just disappeared. ”
“The man definitely has some personal problems that he can’t keep out of the classroom. Just seeing his sadness made my soul hurt. I plan on dropping out of college now.”
“Yeah, I’d take him again.”

PROFESSOR’S RESPONSE
I am sorry. I am going to need a sub today. Call Ryan Choi. He can take my spot. I am sure he will be great if not better.
