Humphrey concedes that a few of the questions such as “Was the professor hard? are too simplistic. “The word hard has many meanings, he says. Overall, though, Humphrey con tends that the student government form is a good one.

Their work is based on the evalua tion form now used by the College of Liberal Arts. Dr. Ruth Schaffer, chairman of the Teaching Excellence Committee, says that is the form meets with a favorable enough re sponse among all faculty members, it will be recommended for approval, probably with a few modifications to John Prescott, vice president of academic affairs. Prescott says he will consult with deans before mak ing a final decision on the matter. The two faculty groups plan to have their work finished by the end of this semester, and if the form is approved, Schaffer says it might be available for 1979 Spring semester. Not everyone, however, agrees that a standard form can be de veloped . “In higher education, historically it’s been very difficult matter to get students, professors and adminis trators to agree on a set of questions that really measure teaching effec tively, says Dr. Glenn Johnson, an assistant professor of Educational Curriculm and Instruction. Johnson, who teaches two graduate-level education courses that deal in part with the subject of teacher evaluations, adds, “I don t think you can develop a question naire that can measure every de partment at a university effectively. H e said it would be difficult to evaluate a physics professor with the same form used in a philosophy course. “The objectives would be different in both of those courses, he says, “so it would be difficult to evaluate them with the same form. Johnson advocates that forms be developed for every department in stead of having one for the entire University. “Divergence is what we need, he says, “because the objec tives and missions of different courses are diverse. Dr. William Bassichis, head of the* Faculty Affairs Council, agrees that developing one form for the whole university will be a difficult task. “I m not sure we can develop a ques tionnaire that can measure the right things, he says. “It’s a very hard job to do. Bassichis says the new form might have to include general questions fol lowed by sets of questions that would by educators.

However, Schaffer is confident one form could be developed for everybody. “Teaching is teaching, says Schaffer, “whether it’s in phi losophy, physics or sociology. We recognize differences in academic disciplines but regardless the thing we re doing is measuring a student’s view of teachers. Developing a questionnaire is no simple matter, and Johnson says there are two major problems in de signing one. The first has to do with deciding exactly what questions should be asked, and the other in volves making -sure that questions really evaluate teaching. The latter is part of a concept labeled "validity part, such as The pi provided ample opport|l cuss, disagree with or points raised in class. "San!
