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.

my class to give a lecture, just to see
what they do."
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.

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."

According to the UNL student hand
book's "Rights and Responsibilities"
section established in 1968 stu
dent groups can set up their own mem
bership requirements. 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.
