sider each point in question carefully rvd will try to grade
with a minimum of personal prejudices.
For example, last semester we took a course under an
instructor who was very popular with his students. Dis
ciplinary measures were greatly relaxed, and the students
spent most of their time talking to each other, listening to
the humorous remarks of the instructor and, in general, I Havana

which resulted in quite a large number of good grades
given during the semester.
Many times we heard students in the class comment,
"He really is a swell guy," or "This really is a pipe course."
But with every comemnt of this nature came the qualifica
tion, "but I'm certainly not getting anything out of the
course." It seems obvious that if this particular instructor
had been rated by his students, his ratings would have been trek back to an outpost of civil
low. btudents may like an instructor and enjoy his jokes,
but still they are reasonably sure whether or not they are
getting adequate learning from his teaching.
Another objection was that the course should be rated
not the instructor teaching that course. This looks to us
like six of one and half a dozen of the other. The instructor
teaches the course, and through his efforts, to a large ex
tern, me course is eitner sucesstul or unsuccessful. If. a 1 she is cmitv she is m-starrcd

also reputedly disclosed that Mr.
Truman was seriously consider
