Word of mouth is a powerful tool in a campus community, but Student Government Association is planning ~ the production of something that ...,~..,.... ~ might be more influential than stu- dents' gossip. Teacher evaluation guides, which should go into production in the spring, will publish results ofhow students rate professors and their teaching meth­ ods. It's a worthwhile project that's done at many universities throughout the country. However, the success of the teacher evaluation guide will depend on what questions SGA decides to ask students about their professors. For example, students often are more interested in class requirements and size of homework loads than ratings of professors' performance. The departmental evaluations students are ac­ customed to filling out will not be published in the i guide because they are used for personnel matters 1 such as promotion and tenure decisions. Nobel Prizes We'd Like To See Since SGA will be creating the evaluation forms, here are some questions that might make the guide helpful to students. letters What is the attendance policy and grading scale?
