A question for teachers: What do you think of cameras in the classroom?

[The Genealogist]

31. I taught in a college setting

as a TA. I had my own section of an intro course. Once a semester, I was evaluated on my teaching by one of the professors in the department. I always dreaded one I will call Dr A. Dr A is a micro-manager, and him as evaluator would result in my getting an hour or two sit down meeting in his office, where he would critique things like the color of my power-points (no colors should ever be used but blue and yellow). Most of it was him making sure I knew how badly I did, because I did something different from him. Not wrong, just different. He was notorious among TAs for pointing out something we did wrong that came directly from a requirement he enacted. I'm trying to think of what kind of hell the lives of the TAs with cameras in those classrooms. We'd have spent 10 hours a week going over every second of our classes, hearing things like how we should have swiveled our waists left instead of right at 7:39 into the class, or smirked instead of smiling at 11:13!
