Its too late. If you had a party now, you would look like a follower and a panderer. The students may even think that you were worried about your evaluation and they could assume that you feel guilty about something. I think it could lower your student evaluation score. |
I think students like getting free food and free food could never hurt your evaluation scores. I remember one of my university professors back in Canada giving us candy (!) and openly admitting it was a bribe (!!) when it was time for us to do our evals. I didn't think less of her (of course teachers worry about their evaluation) and it did put the class into a good mood right before filling out the form.
I gave good evals to the teachers who didn't give anyone candy too. I tried to be honest about their teaching. Not going to say I don't think the candy helped.
I still wouldn't fund a pizza party for all my classes though. Having everyone see my eval score (which isn't great but isn't bad either) would be uncomfortable, but worth it to see how everyone else was doing. I'm nosy.  |
