Men Reason Better,Coeds Excel
In Details, YWCA Poll Reveals
Which are the better students, (
men or women? Women were cho
sen better students generally than
men by members of the faculty at
the rate of five to one in a recent
questionnaire distributed as a pro
ject by the Freshman YWCA com-)
mission. Special comments indicat
ed that women were better in de
tail work; men in reasoning.
The questionnaires contained
questions relating to cheating,
grades, examinations, opinion and
conduct of students, and even knit
ting in classes.
Some of the results:
Twenty-nine instructors indicat
ed that it did not influence their
opinion of the student if he sits in
the front row of the class, while
four reported that it did influence
the opinion of the student, but not
the grade.
Knitting in class annoys 19 in
structors, but does not bother nine.
One stated that it might if he saw
it going on, but didn’t see much of
it, and another said it would if fre
quently done.
More instructors thought there
was cheating going on at the Uni
versity than not—the vote counting
14 to 13 in favor of cheating. On
the other hand, 24 instructors
thought the honor system could be
established at Oregon, while nine
disagreed. A PE instructor noted
on the questionnaire that the honor
system could not be established
with PE majors as a group, or in
the biology department with last
ing effect.
Seventeen answers indicated that
instructors do not think grades
were lower this term than in pre
vious terms; seven think they were.
Two think the grading system is
harder than Oregon State’s, two
think it is easier, and nine agree it
is the same. Sixteen teachers
grade on a curve; eleven do not.
Participation in class discussion
affect the grades given by 20 of
the instructors, but make no dif
ference to 13. Poor attendance af
fects the final grade even though a
student’s examination grades are
good in 15 of the instructors’
courses. It made no difference on
the grade to 17 teachers whether a
student comes to class or not.
Examination questions come
mostly from the lectures of six in
structors; from the text of the
course of two instructors, and
equally from the text of the course
of two instructors, and equally
