THE BLUE BANNER/December 4, 1986/3 e It t s Photos hy Kielanie Floyd Interviews by Julie Ball Tracy Robinson Sophomore Management "I believe students do (take evaluations seriously) most of the time. I feel the students look at it more than the professors do." Dawn Lajoie Freshman Unclassified "I think the evaulation is a good idea. I think some of the most important people to get an opinion from are the students." Lisa Crawford Sophomore Political Science "I take them seriously when I fill them out, hoping that the teachers take them seriously. (It’s a chance to) improve the class if it needs improving or to let them know that what they’re doing is working." Dale Pressley Junior Engineering "I think the kids take advantage of it. If they did badly in the class, they nail the teacher." Joven Cizek Senior Management "I think the students do (take them seriously). If the teacher is a good teacher, they’re gonna let them know. If they’re bad, the students are not gonna give them a good evaluation. I don’t know how seriously the university takes them; they should take them seriously." 60" ^ 'nT- t^ • 0 Cary Atkins Post Baccalaureate Art "I don’t believe that the students take them that seriously because they don’t feel that anything is going to come of them. They think it’s a formality and they’re (the evaluations) gonna get dumped in the trash can. As professors go, it would depend on the school situation. If the school requires these evaluations for tenure or promotions, then I think that instructors take them a little more seriously."
