Certainly an entirely student evaluation would rate the faculty member almost entirely on his classroom performance and his personal interaction with the student Some faculty members especially the ones who don’t come across too well in class fear that this would result in a popularity contest Past attempts at student-teache- r evaluation alleviate faculty charges of inefficiency and irresponsibility among students Craig Hale academic vice president admitted that last year’s evaluation attempt ended in a "gigantic failure” Yet inspite of all the drawbacks LIFE feels that at least a portion of any faculty evaluation plan must include a direct student-teache- r evaluation We also feel that any teacher evaluation system would be incomplete without a published document containing at least enough information for students to rate prospective classes and teachers The mere fact that students and taxpayers pay for their education gives them this right but it does not give them the right to color the career of a faculty member through the use of an improper evaluation tool We urge the evaluation committee to include students in the evaluation process so that students can share in a legitimate attempt to improve their own education SUT-DEN- T “Today We Take on the News Media!
