Continued from Page 1 Moore said students want profes sors who grade fairly, come to class prepared, make themselves available outside of class and make clear from the beginning the class requirements. "Students want to know what the rules of the game are early," he said. Moore said student comments help him evaluate professors. If a teacher gets a consistently low rating from students, Moore talks to that teacher to try to work the problem out. But students ratings are only a part of the evaluation process, Moore said. "We also look at the professor's scholarly activities, like research and professional practice work," Moore said. "And sometimes I ask them into Regents bill advances Gov. Bob Kerrey's proposal to make the NU Board of Regents appointed rather than elected was given first-round approval by the Legislature on Wednesday. The proposal would add an amendment to the state constitu tion allowing the governor to appoint the regents in 1988. However, the close vote, 26 to 21, might make it impossible for it to pass. It needs 30 votes to pass on final reading. Women should 'do homework' for job search By Colleen Kenney Staff Reporter Women need to do their "home work" when hunting for jobs, but many of them don't, according to UNL psy chologist Dori Lambert, who spoke Tuesday at a Women's Week workshop on: "Women in Careers: Exploring Abil ities, Values and Interests." "Women feel incompetent," Lambert said. "We're too busy trying to look good that we forget they're on trial for us, too." Women need to know the internal structure of their perspective job and if they will have a "favorable climate for advancement," Lambert said. To determine this, Lambert said women need to "understand the lan guage of the structure" by talking to people who already are working in the organization. At a job interview, it's important to get "a feel" for the struc ture by asking many questions about the network of responsibility "Who's responsible to who" and learning of any support system, such as co-worker groups, Lambert said. "You have to make decisions about what you want out of your career," she said. "But you may need to learn a new vocabulary." Many women do not ask the neces sary questions because they have to assess their needs and abilities, Lam bert said. "Women have a hard time figuring out what we can do. We devalue our experiences." The best way to understand one's potential and abilities is to look at past experiences from jobs and note the skills acquired from them. Advanced schooling and salaries are not prereq uisites for skills, Lambert said. "We got a lot out of work besides money," she said. Other clues for finding out one's abilities are to look at past aptitude tests, such as college entrance exams, to see strengths or weaknesses. But Lambert cautions women not to eliminate possibilities based on such scores. "Give yourself a chance to try new things. Allow yourself to fantasize. "There's a lot we don't have control over. But we do have control over how you feel and your attitudes," she said.

Frederick Link, chairman of the UNL English department, said he regards student evaluations as com ments on the professor's delivery system. "We don't think students are in a postition to know whether a teacher knows the material or is really on the cutting edge of his field," Link said. Nevertheless, he said, student eva luations help in evaluating a profes sor. Link said students like teachers who are well-prepared, show interest in their students, make the class goals clear and take an enthusiastic approach to teaching. Supporters of the proposal main tain that appointed regents would be more capable of making tough decisions since they would not be as accountable to voters. Opponents say it is a move to give the governor power to run the uni versity they way he wants to and that elected regents give the people of the state a strong voice in higher education. St?' approximate weight before cooking Student opinion often varies from semester to semester, he said. Teachers might get a good evalu?,cion in a class for one semester, but get a bad evaluation in the same class the next semester. Student responses also vary for the same class at differ ent times of the day. Because the responses vary, it takes several semesters to get an idea of how students view a certain teacher, Link said. "After reading these evaluations over a period of time, you can usually tell which teachers need to work hard on their teaching, and which are out standing," Link said. "About 80 per cent of the teachers fall somewhere in between." Equality...

But "in no instance will these criteria for mem bership include race or color," the handbook said. Marcy said the EOC bill will expand that criteria to include discrimination of any kind and will provide a person to ensure that the new legislation be adhered to.
