Evidently the data shows that student evaluations reflect how much fun the students had and how charismatic they found the teacher to be, but not how much they learned. Oddly enough, I always got good evaluations, but there were always a few who docked me for not being friendly enough.

College graduates fare better than those without college degrees because they had the skills necessary to earn a degree in the first place, not because of something they learned in college.

Also, Harvard and Yale graduates tend to be more successful than those of other universities because of the exceptional skills that got them admitted in the first place, not anything Harvard or Yale offer.
