teaching like the world’s favorite father figure

Last week I was in Peru for a workshop, and I taught two sessions in Spanish, one on “sampling and power calculations” and another on “data collection.”  we had participants from around the continent.

Today I saw the teacher evaluations.  My favorite positive comment: In response to “What did you like most?”, one participant wrote

que a veces hable como Homer Simpson [sometimes he talks like Homer Simpson]

And – as to be expected – the main “what suggestions to improve the session?” was “menos rápido [slower]”.  Story of my life.
