T nms MnnnAN 70 Petro By LOUIS MORGAN There was a time when the school teachei)’ ruled isupr^ at least in his own classroom. But the modern teacher H perform his duties under the eagle eye of students who strike back in the way that hurts rnost^-anionymotisly, )fpc without conscience, through the dean’s offiep. ; The prof rating surveys taken last semester have fiA made their way through channels ♦ and back to the individual instruc-' tors. Comments, most interesting feature of the survey, varied from downright apple polishing to very near slander. ' '* • One student found classes Under a certain instructor “most inter esting” while another student said, of the same teacher, “This instruc tor may be classified as one of the most obnoxious and unnecessary faculty members now at A&M Col lege” t ‘. , 7 Surprisingly enough, the teach- ers, version of the shady joke is not so popular here as it would 1 seem. At least it came in for a share of criticism. Concerning exams, one student had this to say, “This instrtictor’s “““ • ••■OVA O tests are all objeetional—200 true- false and multiply choice.” And still another student re signed himself this way: “A poor teacher, but a poor course any way.” ' But a majority of the comments were favorable. This in spite of the fact that warmer climes and other environments were recommended for some. One instructor received this heartening comment, “You should be made head of department today.” ' The purpose of the tests, accord- g to F. C. Bolton, Dean of the Cdljege, was to get student impres- sioiWNof the various instructors. In the final analysis, he says,' each teacher wU^ be able to recognize his own shortcomings and remedy them. In mosKcases, Dean Bolton said the survey proves that A&M instructors are well-qualified and doing a good job of leaching. Similar surveys have been made here before, Dean Bolton said, but never on such ft large scale as the recent one. In the past the tests were given only to seniors, but this time at lehst 75% of the stu dent body had a chance to rate their profs. Under this system, all teachers were graded by students in their classes at the time of the survey. There are no plans for giving other tests in the near future, Dean Bolton said. The original tests are kept on file in his office, while the teacher gets only a summary of the results, including comments. mg s field. ide crbssingB ii^the Bryan- arid representatives from yesterday. le offtep of Mayor Ernest Jied toj give pedestrians and >tolists : more adequate warning ipproaching trains, it pjrefient C.
