10 Excellently done. Diversity affirmed @ all levels.
No mark for 11. Comment was “Not sure I’m comfortable with the embedded assumption that language policing is “good.” Perhaps rather than “confronting” people’s word choices, a more productive response would be to engage them in conversation about what they intend to communicate.”

9 Charlie did an outstanding job in presenting complex material in an understandable way by engaging the class and creating a safe culture. This is one of the best instructors I have ever had- and I’m a doctoral student.
10 Charlie, I don’t recall very much, if any, erotophobia in the class, but I felt very safe that if there were, you would have dealt with it effectively.
