part in the total review of an

composed the new forms, which
were approved by the faculty
senate last May. Then the forms
were accepted by random
members of the faculty.
Do the students abuse the
instructor-course questionn
aires?
“The majority of the students
are fair in filling out the
forms,” said Ferling. "If there
have been abuses by students,
i here have also been abuses by
faculty members.

Lewis and Thomas said the
proposals would be considered
by the dean’s council and
probably a faculty senate
committee such as academic
policies and procedures.
Some llisuuuOla ueairuying
evaluations and some looking at
them before grades were given.
A couple of instructors are said
to have refused to give them.”
According to one department
chairman, some students do not
take the questionnaires
seriously. “The abuses are both
positive and negative.”
The chairman said he reviews
the forms and if there is a
specific problem he discusses it
with the instructor.
“I never pay any attention to
those things,” said one
sophomore, "I just fill them
out as quick as I can.”
Other students surveyed said
that they take the forms
seriously but do not take as
much time on the question
naires as they should.
"The procedures are
breaking down,” says Ferling.
"I’m on the sub-committee that
will try to rework policing of the
procedures... We’ll build some
safeguards into it.”
