"Not all the faculty are evaluated exactly the same, but all are expected to do a credible job in the classroom," Hubbard said. He added that he thinks students generally are honest with their comments, and that the evaluations are a very good measure of a teachers' performances. "I like to see comments that say the professor was fair, a clear presenter, and interested in the students. I don't like to see that the professor missed classes, or was not available outside of class," he said. Ultimately, those comments affect the amount of the raise, based on merit, that he as chairman would recommend for a teacher, Hubbard said. Negative comments also are a concern of the School of Music, according to Haggh. Haggh explained that being a good teacher requires three things in his opinion: knowledge of the subject, the ability to speak clearly and explain carefully and the establishment of the right kind of atmosphere in the classroom. Bergstrom said that as a member of the advisory commitce, it may take half an hour to examine one teacher's file. "We don't just look at evaluations. We look at written comments, syllabus requirements, and the grades an instructor gave. We try to balance all these things. It's an interpretive process," he said. Hie primary purpose of the evaluations is to identify ways to improve teaching, and develop improved approaches, according to O'Hanlon. While chairman of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, O'Hanlon encouraged mid-semester evaluations to provide immediate feedback to teachers. "In a lot of ways, mid-semester evaluations are more fruitful in clearing up immediate problems," he said. "We don't use one standard form for every class. We try to tailor the evaluation to the class. I think sometimes the standardized form encourages a rapid evaluation." For those students who need a greater opportunity to express their concerns, Hubbard recommended the Student Advisory Board, or even a consultation with the department head. "I place a lot of weight on spontaneous comments. I listen to students who come in and talk to me-about their professors," he said.
