The Jedi mind trick
At Learning Curves, there has been a discussion of a secret way to improve one's course evaluations. A particular graduate student, it seems, has the knack: His secret, he told us, is the Jedi Mind Trick. He will say, in class, things like: "I'm explaining this very clearly." He does this all semester, for all the questions on the evaluation form.
