Hi Aska!
I am taking this 3rd year sociology class. There are over 60 students registered in this class, but only a handful show up to class, coz the prof is super boring. I heard from his past students that his classes are usually empty. Doesn’t the prof realize that the reason why no one shows up is cause he is so boring? This is UofT! Students don’t stop going to lectures for no reason.
It is sketchy/mean if I create an anonymous email account and send him an email telling him that he should improve his lecture?
I need your wise advice.
Thanks
-Very frustrated student.

Yo yo frustrated student (although, which student isn’t frustrated with something or other),
So, let me get this straight. You heard that the course was boring and you still took it?
I’m all about voicing your opinion but one, I associate fake emails with stalking and two, I can’t imagine he’s going to change his entire lecturing style based on one email. There’s a chance you’ll just make him pissed at every student in the class.
You could go in to office hours and just tell him that you would find it helpful if he … i dunno brought puppets to class or any legitimate constructive criticism.
… or go to class drunk.
forever helpful (but probably not in this case),
