College's eval. setup elbows out SA guide

|

Implemented during Summer term, the College's online system of course evaluations has seen approximately 80 percent of students completing the evaluations during the last two terms, Dean of Faculty Carol Folt said. The new system, which obliges students to either complete an evaluation or decline participation in order to view their grades, appears to have caused fewer students to participate in Student Assembly's online course evaluation guide, a service that provides detailed course information for students choosing classes. The new college course evaluations are standardized across departments and largely replaced paper evaluations, which were designed by individual professors or departments and were completed in the classroom.
