center, said it will be impossible
to get the results of any given term
earlier than two weeks into the
next term. Therefore, the informa
tion will always be one term be
hind.
“The ultimate goal is to give stu
dents a tool that would take the
guesswork out of scheduling for
classes,” ASUO University affairs
coordinator J.R. Fitzpatrick said.
At the end of each term, stu
dents are given the opportunity to
critique their professors and cours
es through evaluation forms. One
form asks for written responses
and, if signed by the student, goes
into the professor’s file. The other
form is Scantron with four ques
tions answered by the students.
The ASUO has been trying to
get the results of those four ques
tions out to students scheduling
for future terms. Originally, the re
sults were printed on paper and
distributed in booklets of about 20
pages stapled together. There
were, however, several problems
associated with that method.
“Last year, it realized the print
ing of pamphlets ... was expen
sive and consumed a lot of paper,”
Rice said.
Anne Leavitt, associate vice
president of student affairs, said
the booklets were not timely, not
useful and filled with errors.
Last year, a student attempted to
assemble the data on his personal
Web page, Fitzpatrick said, but it
was difficult for students to access.
For the last three years, the
ASUO has been storing the data
from the evaluations on computer
disks. The ASUO cleared the
movement to a Web-based distri
bution through the Undergraduate
Council, a sub-section of the Uni
versity Senate comprised of stu
dents, faculty and some adminis
tration members.
Since then, the ASUO has been
working with the Office of Re
source Management in Johnson
Hall and the Computing Center to
complete the task.

on-line will allow students to
make better course selections
based on the information provid
ed in the evaluations, those in
volved with the project said, and
will prevent them from entering
their classes unaware of what lays
in store for them.
“The course evaluations were
designed to help the teaching ef
fectiveness of the faculty and to
give faculty feedback on what stu
dents were learning in the
course,” Leavitt said. “This is a
third use of course evaluations for
students.”
Students are not the only seg
ment that will benefit, however.

what Fitzpatrick described as a
“marketing tool.”
“They can put their best foot
forward and show that they do
have things to offer,” he said.
Even the administration sees a
benefit in publishing the evalua
tions on-line.
If students are able to make wis
er choices about their courses,
there will be a lot less adding and
dropping of classes during the first
week of school, Leavitt explained.
If that can happen, it will be much
easier for the administration to
track which students are in which
classes.
The evaluations are only the be
ginning of what Fitzpatrick hopes
will be a “cohesive tool” for stu
dents to make course selections.
The ASUO is currently working
on a proposal that will also con
nect class Web pages and profes
sor biographies to Duck Hunt. The
plan is set to be presented Thurs
day to the Undergraduate Council.
