What speed? or to whom?

Teaching at the community college level one is faced with students of varying abilities and temperaments. The following two posting are by two students in a single class.

Question 1
Do you have any suggestions to improve this class?Answer
The only improvements i would suggest to improve our class
would to slow down the lecture a little more giving ample time for everyone to
finish writitng down key terms. on another note though i will say that your real
life scenerios really help me relate the subject matter making it easier to
understand

I
think you should wear a fisherman's hat and/or teach the class like old men tell
ghost stories in movies. If you had a hot girl walk through the class holding a
card displaying the current round, I would pay more attention. Also, don't
answer stupid questions that just waste time, like that one rich girl's
questions, you know who I'm talking about. Oh yeah, and that guy that said to
slow down should be shot. We have the book and the damn lesson plan on the
internet if we need to write down a definiton, if he doesn't understand
something that's different, but to write down a definition...shot.

All these postings are annonymous which brings up the question of should surveys be anonymous? But that is another posting.
