In most cases the procedure of student evaluation works. One of the suggestions was that student evaluations be tabulated and typed by a secretary and the results put in the faculty member's folder. The deans wondered what a promotion and tenure committee would think if the original evaluations were not included in the case material. Another suggestion was that evaluations not be looked at until all grades are in. McCants warned that we should be cautious about moving away from instructor improvement but instead moving toward personnel and wages.
Student evaluations do make a difference.
