Evaluation Board Gives
Foundation for Selection
B> DIANE CARV ER
The faculty course evalua
tion board is now engaged in a
project whose outcome will
afford incoming freshmen
and transfers to choose cours
es and professors on the basis
of past students opinions of
them.
The object of the evalua
tion process is not to judge the
noetic worth of professor or
course, nor does it propose to
calculate the necessity of the
courses evaluated to the stu
dents curriailum
By providing an unbiased
representation of previous
students opinions on courses
and professors, the board
hopes to give an incoming
student some foundation for
selection Results will be
giver, in percentage form,
according to computer tabula
tions of answers to a question
naire submitted to students
Hie type of questions asked
are those which cover the in
tensity of instruction, layout
of the course and testing pro
cedures. professor s attitudes
R&B News Analysis
as seen by the students and
the degrees of interest they
felt in the course
The success of any evalua
tion depends on the students'
interest in having an evalua
tion done — something that
has been asked for by an in
creasing number of students
Another evaluation study
was instituted by the Student
Senate three years ago. but
was unsuccessful. It re
mained in the planning stages
until winter quarter of last
year when the process of ev
aluation was actually carried
out Spring quarter courses
were also evaluated, but be
cause of a lack of proper plan
ning and management, the
whole process dissolved over
the summer The results were
never published
The main problems incured
by the previous committees
who handled the evaluation
were professors objections
and administration of the
questionnaire However, the
current board, appointed by
the senate committee on fac
ulty course evaluation, has
attempted with some success
to eliminate these major ob
stacles.
Dr George Partheinos.
vice president for instruction,
has given the board permis
sion to evaluate courses at
general registration directly
following the quarter Profes
sorial intervention will be at a
minimum, yet the success of
the evaluation will depend
solely on the interest »>f the
students, for it will be totally
voluntary
A table will be set up with
the necessary materials in an
easily accessible place, with
members of the board there
at all times to supervise the
evaluation procedure
Again, without the support
of the students the evaluation
will not be a success, and
there will be no point in at
tempting a complete evalua
tion if forced to work in an
uferent atmosphere
The board, in writing up the
questionnaire, consulted oth
er schools' manuals of evalua
tions who had a successful
and respected system of ev
aluating Professors on the
University campus offered
their assistance, also
After the data has been
gathered, it will be run
through a computer and com
piled in percentages; that is.
for each question asked about
a category, a certain number
of students will mark one
answer, and so on. thereby
creating a scale of opinion
The results will be pub
lished after two or three
quarters consistent evalua
tion profile on the instructors,
and comments of the stu
dents
At registration, the board
will be evaluating basic re
quired courses in the College
of Arts and Sciences The first
attempts will include Math

History 111. 112. all sections,
and any basic science course
taken to fulfill the Arts and
Sciences requirements
The course still has to be
approved by the Vice Presi
dent of instruction. Dr
George Parthemos. but Smith
felt that the biggest hurdle
had been crossed.
Hopefully the course will
be available to students in the
college this summer
Other business during the
meeting included the commit
tee reports in which the cau
cus committee gave a dele
gate breakdown for the com
ing caucus.
The caucus, tentatively
scheduled for April 1. will se
lect the SRA candidates for
the elections on April 23 Re
