Thomas Hubbard, chairman of the
accounting department, said his faculty
is evaluated on four points: research in
the field, service to the profession, recent
work experience and teaching, including
performance in the classroom.
"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.
