. Committee Sends Letters
•

tee sent letters to all the depart
ment heads in. the College of
Liberal Arts. These questionnaires
asked for the name of each in
structor, the number of courses ,
taught by each and the average'
number of students in each course.
- The information received from
these questionnaires was used as
a basis for the faculty evaluation
forms.
- A complete evaluation - would
involve approximately 20,000
forms. Only a sampling- of- 12,000
students in liberal arts • courses
will be' taken. .
Professors to Distribute Forms
• Each profeisOr can give the
faculty-evaluation forms to any
of his classes in each course. He
can also choose the day on which
he wishes to distribute' the forms
t.t_ his students.

tain 21 points. The student will
fill in the professor's name and
evaluate him on each point by
checking the answer he feels best
fits the professor's personality,
teaching habits, etc.
Students will not be asked to
put their names on the forms.
