Dead week changes
needed, survey shows
Although last semester's Dead Week survey did not
yield many results, a member of ASUN's Academic Policy
Committee said the survey determined three points that
students think should be included in the dead week
policy.
Laura Burklund said the Student Advisory Board took
a survey last semester to determine student opinion on
dead week policy. According to the results, most students
do not want new information introduced in classes during
the week, think a vote to move a comprehensive finals to
dead week should be taken by secret ballot, and do not
want regular exams to be given during dead week.
Burklund said that the ASUN committee has been
working on getting the three points included in the dead
week policy. She said the suggestions have been referred
to a faculty senate committee.
The faculty senate passed the existing dead week
policy in October 1971. The policy states that during
dead week, the final week of scheduled classes, efforts
should be made to avoid giving comprehensive semester
exams. The policy adds that any deviation of this should
be with the agreement of the teaching department, the
dean of the college, and unanimous consent of the class.
Burklund advised that if a student thinks the policy has
been violated, he or she should follow these steps: Talk to
the instructor; go to the department head, the dean of the
college or the university ombudsman.
Burklund also advised that if no recourse is found
through these channels, students should contact the
ASUN office for advice.
