Reed Gives Students Helpful
Pre-Final Examination Hints
The student's favorite pre-final
study habit . . . cramming.
In commenting on this study
habit, Woodrow W. Reed, Junior
Division guidance counselor, said,
"Cramming helps to reduce feel
ings of guilt but is usually inef
fective motion precipitated by
tension."
The reason many students cram!
for exam, is relatively simpie
they don't know bow to study for
final exams.
Reed has given some helnful
hints on the fine art of studying
for final exams.
Some of the principles are:
1. Spread out the review.
Don't try cramming all the in
formation into your bead one or
two days before the exam.
2. The sooner yon start re
viewing, the better. The old
saying that "he who hesitates is
lost," defintely applies to finals.
3. Be selective in your re
viewing. Try to concentrate on

Reed said that pre-testing
should be an important part of
each student's study program.
He advised, "Try to make up a
final exam similar to the one
that yon think may be pre

the student, the opportunity to bei

that "it also gives the student ex

The teacher rating program
is a culmination of the research
and study of evaluation systems
used at various colleges and
universities in the nation. The
evaluation system selected by
this committee to be used at the
University is the Purdue univer
sity evaluation system.
The rating program, as applied
to University faculty members,
will be:
1. Completely voluntary on the
part of the individual instructor
and
2. Results of each rating by
students will be made available
only to the instructor evaluated.
According to Dr. Ephriam Hix-

value and if, when made offi-
rial, it will make students think,
: it is important and is good busi-
'ness for the school and the stu -
dents.
"There is one serious draw
back to the plan: no one but
the individual instructor sees
the evaluation. The instructors
who ask to use the system ob
viously plan to use it to benefit
the course. Only those instruc
tors who are afraid to be criti

Mr. Reed gives some points that'
have proven helpful in the actual

THE QUESTION
"Do you think students should rate their instructors and will
the rating prove effective?"
Dick Worrall, senior, Arts and Sciences: Students don't have the
chance very often to rate then: instructors and I believe they would
by.be sincere with their ratings. It will be effective or not if the in-stu-structor
takes the comments as sincere and actually tries to improve
'what students think is wrone.
Richard Goos, freshman, Teachers College: Yes, I think they
should. Although if thev rll rate
th cv wmilri all fail thpir roiirsp It
tors took the ratings conscientiously
j Dee Lovegrove, senior, Teachers College: I think it would pro-
mote better student-teacher relations. It should give the faculty
greater responsibility towards the students. Faculty should be evalu-
ated currently.
Barbara Adams, sophomore, Arts and Sciences: Yes, I think
they should. Sometimes the teachers just don't know what they are
(doing wrong so that the student would get the best benefits from the
jclass.
Jack Davis, junior, Teachers College: Yes, I think it would be
jfine. Sometimes the older teachers need to keep up with the current
:students rather than teach the class the way they did 10 years ago.
j Mitzi Marqueson, freshman, Arts and Sciences: I think the teach

Betty Jo Allen, junio, Teachers College: Yes, it should help out

seriously the rating should prove worthwhile.
