were quiet and respectful, and I was thrilled with their behavior. It
is usually rowdy in there as a result of poor classroom management
skills on the part of the usual professor. I lectured and came up
short on material and long on time, although I covered all the
important parts, in my opinion, and all of my notes (which were made
by a different professor for her class, so I know I didn't miss
anything).
However, those extra 10 minutes were not lost on the professor. He
decided to give his opinion of me while the students watched and
fidgeted. Not many could hear, thankfully, and it wasn't as bad as
I'm making it seem. He just had no good things to say,and lots of
"You should have said..." 's, and that's discouraging to me. I feel
like I did a kick ass job, and Brad concurs as he was there (thank
you, Sweets. I appreciated seeing your handsome face in the crowd.)
But Real Prof decided to expound on my words and chastised me for not
repeating concepts. Repeatedly chastised me for not repeating
concepts.
So at least it's done, but don't count on me doing that weekly, buck-o.
And I'm exhaustipated. So darn tired I'm making up words now. No
break all day-- teaching straight 8 til 5.

So were these comments from the department head or the one who usually teaches the course? If the latter, than I would take it with a grain of salt. If the former, then I would say how unprofessional he is. Your evaluation should be done one on one, not infront of the class.
And even if you weren't that great (but I'm sure you were) everyone is nervous their first time and it takes a bit of time to get used to it. Don't give up on it!! One of these days you will be the head prof.:)
