' B d i t o x u l Professors add it u p ... Try to top the frustration of a student who feels victimized by the teaching methods of a professor and knows end-of-the-term evaluations won’t make any difference. Then put yourself on the other side of the fence and consider the tenure review board, looking not only at how you teach but how much research you do and how many publications have borne your name. Add the absence of raises in several years, and ask yourself, would I (as a professor) read these evaluations? Both students and faculty have long been frustrated with pro fessor evaluations. Most students abhor taking the time, after the impact of ten weeks of class, to fill them out. If the professor reads Right in Drexel’s backyard these, will it affect my grade? Does the professor read these? If he reads them, will this professor — who has recycled the same lec ture notes since 1965 — actually take them to heart? ■ a wonderful restaurant Part of the problem with professor evaluations might be the professors’ ignorance of the student perspective.
