Missing Student Course Evaluations
A friend sent me this correspondence about some missing student course evaluations at Harvard Law School. “The dog ate my homework” comes to life.
Good morning-
The course evaluations for Professor Ramseyer’s Governance and Finance of Japanese Firms Reading Group last semester appear to have been misplaced. Do any of you remember who collected the evaluations and took them to the BSA?
Thank you,
XX

Here is the reply:
Dear X,
I took the evaluations. I was going to take them directly to the BSA office, but then I found out that it had moved, so I ended up taking them home. I planned on taking them to the BSA office the next day, which I learned was moved to Pound. I left them in my backpack, however, my cat urinated on my backpack (strange I know) and really ruined the papers inside, which, actually only consisted of the evaluations that were completely wet with urine, leaking through the entire envelope. In my judgment, I did not feel that they were sanitory to be handled after that, so I threw them away. Perhaps I should have saved them… but I didn’t think anyone would want to handle them after that.
I am really sorry about that…
