Unlike; stand arc! i/toci end-of
the-term departmental evalua
tions, the midterm analysis is
tailored by each faculty mem
ber from a menu of items
Because the analysis is given
in the middle of the term, it
also allows instructors to get
feedback while there is still
time to make constructive
changes
Although Laskaya recom
mends the midterm analysis in
classes that faculty members
are teaching for the first time,
ideally, the service would be
used in every class every term,
she said.
"Every class has needs that
are somewhat different.' she
said
Laskava said a midterm anal
ysis of a Shakespeare class
showed that her students, many
of whom were non-English ma
jors, did not always understand
tlie context of the plays as
much as she thought they did.
She altered the class to give
more historic at background.

class videotaped, then view it
in a follow-up consultation.
Vidootaping is effective be
cause it not only allows in
structors to view how ihev
communicate with their ( lass,
but it makes evident any verbal
or physical mannerisms that
may detract from their lectures,
said Susan Losyk, acting direc
tor of Academic Learning Ser
vices.
Instructors sometimes com
merit on how long the class
seems when they see it on vid
oo, she said.
“When you are teaching and
talking about something you
really enjoy, time can fly,"
Lesyk said. “Talking is very ac
tive, while sitting and listening
is passive.”
The Teaching Effectiveness
Program came about four years
ago after now faculty members
observed noticeable University
support for research but not lor
teaching.
“While research is important,
teaching is what you are prac
ticing," Lesyk said. “It feels
better when you know you are
doing it well."
Although the University's in
stitutional structure seems to
reward faculty for research
more than for teaching, change
appears imminent, Laskava
said.
"1 think the winds are mov
ing in the direction of valuing
teaching, and 1 think that's
great, but we have a long way
to go," she said.
Lesyk advertises the program
to faculty and (PIT's, but said
she is most encouraged when
department heads urge their
staff members to participate.
Droadscale participation has
come from (PIT’s in the philoso
phy and English departments,
among others, she said.
The Teaching Effectiveness
Program also offers oral mid
term analyses, teaching skills
counseling, live or videotaped
seminars, and a teaching re
sources library. For more infor
mation on those and other con
fidential services, call Susan
Lesyk at 346-322G.

Janet Smith resident Lorah
Coertzel bulioves co-op resi
dents grow closer as they work
together.
"It's a good way to become
empowered because there is no
hierarchy," Coertzel said. "It’s
more a homo than u house
whore everyone cooks for
themselves and has their own
shelf.”
Co-op residents hope to de
stroy many of the stereotypes
people may have about co-ops.
"I guess the co-ops have got
ten a bad rep for being a bunch
of dirty hippies, but it's not like
that," Campbell Club resident
Michelle Balzola said.
