As for post-grad school course evals: does your department or library have a copier w/scanner function you could use? Slap 'em in the top-feeder, one class at a time, get one pdf per class sent to your e-mail account, store 'em on your hard drive (until you've built up a couple years' worth at your new home), and cheerfully shred the hard copies. <br /><br />Unless, of course, there's one you really, really want to save. My friend Jeff has one posted on his office wall: "This class is great. It's even better when I'm stoned."Notorious Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08700875559325201086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6250713400045458826.post-7015809021803423602009-05-26T17:34:10.151-04:002009-05-26T17:34:10.151-04:00I'd also toss anything on the computer, with a goo...I'd also toss anything on the computer, with a good backup. I'd also toss articles, since you can always get them again from J-Stor or another online database. Maybe compile a list of titles, with a note for which class(es) or research each one is for? I'd also keep some of your older evals, maybe from one course for every semester - just in case. Schools can vary so much in terms of study culture, teaching ethos, etc., that in case your first semester throws you a curve, you can have evals of earlier semesters to reasssure you (and maybe your new dept) that you are a capable teacher! (I hope this *doesn't* happen, but I've known a couple of people it did happen to, and it's better to be prepared!).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09861393242904676605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6250713400045458826.post-14277610687424952212009-05-26T16:53:54.587-04:002009-05-26T16:53:54.587-04:00I'd toss anything you have a copy of on your compu...I'd toss anything you have a copy of on your computer, but just make sure you have a backup first!
