I got reprimanded for my teaching on two occasions.
The first was because I re-used an old test, word for word. Even though the test a few years old, apparently some fraternity had gotten a copy of it and some students had studied off of it, and others who didn't have access to the test complained.
The second was because I was sitting down to teach one of my classes (it's because I use my ipad as a whiteboard projected onto the screen basically.) I didn't think it'd be a big deal because I still get up to point to the screen when necessary, but apparently a reviewer thought that sitting down while teaching makes me look lazy or something? So now I stand instead of sit while writing on the ipad.
I received the second comment as well. My Reporting Officer reported that some colleagues had reservations about whether I was engaging my students enough. But I think sometimes when I sit at the centre of the classroom to teach my classroom, this is when I have their absolute attention haha
Did your students have to sit for the exam again?

No, I forgot what we did as it was so long ago. I think since it was only a few students, we let it slide.

Oh, haha and how could I forget. I also got reprimanded because when we first returned to in-person class from COVID, I made my class half in-person half online. I thought I had the flexibility to do that, but apparently we were mandated to go fully in-person (had something to do with administrative rules on counting the number of face-to-face instructional hours)
