> Taken out of context, even a single vindictive or poorly composed review can be fatal to an instructor's career. Really? Is this something particular to Yale? Instruction was almost an afterthought at the Universities I attended. (Professors were there to get grants and do research.) Many of them only taught the mandated minimum number of classes (often poorly) and even though it was widely known which profs were terrible it seemed have little effect on their careers.
