An Evaluation of the Evaluation (Continued from page tivoj To those who say UNDEMOCRATIC, I say the answer is simple : Am I being coerced if people sit m ji room out of my presence and criticize me on foims which are immediately after sealed in an envelope never to be opened to any eyes but my own and not even to these if 1 do not wish? Thus the students are guilty of not taking a wise and firm stand for their evaluation plan. If it is of value, make it workable. Put it to a vote if need be. Establish it or be done with it altogether, but do not rdlow a man to make you look ridiculous by asking him to allow you to take his picture with a camera in which there is obviously no film. As for the faculty, their attitude toward the plan has been very unadmirable, in the eyes of this writer. In no class have 1 seen a laculty meniDer give tne rat ing a fair chance. Every professor made some com ment on the merits of the plan. One professor made it clear to his class that evalu ation was nothing more than a student plaything. I lave it or not was his attitude, it makes no difference to me. After referring to it as the “faculty hating plan,” he suggested that any who did not care to rate him could leave. A third of the class left. There are reasons why they did. It was already obvious that the professor had no intentions of taking their rating efforts ser iously. Secondly, he had so ridiculed the plan that they might well have thought to stay was tanta mount to expressing an admiration for something which the respected faculty member thought was worthless. The evaluation plan can be equated with student opinion. And seldom is a man’s opinion worth so lit tle as to merit nothing more than ridicule. There are other objections: The questionnaire has obvious flaws. ASUO has not been active enough in organization and development ot the plan. The Emerald has not sufficiently kept students informed of much more than the facts of the plan. It has been sadly lacking in constructive effort. But these items are all secondary to two facts: An effecti\ e facultv evaluation plan requires that the students first give it two good feet to stand on. And it requires as well that the faculty, though it may not wholly approve, should at least cooperate in giv ing the student a fair chance to establish an effective plan.
