Professors Continued from Page 1 At the beginning of each se mester, the University publishes the correct procedures for stu dents to follow to register con cerns about classroom communi cation. According to the program doc ument, students should first re port their concerns to the instruc tor. If the problem is not resolved that way, then the student should go to the department head from which the course is offered. However, Greshom said, this complaint procedure has not proven effective. "The mechanism itself is flawed," he said. "Students must go to the faculty person and then the department and on up the lad der. "In a classroom situation, an 18-year-old is usually reluctant to confront a professor, and a for eign professor who doesn't speak can be intimi- Greshom suggested that stu dents go in a group to speak with their professors if they are having problems and are reluctant to go alone. "If the instructor is serious about teaching, then they won't be offended by this," he said. The Center for Teaching Excel- the language well dating," he said. lence is devoted to helping in structors become more effective teachers, Greshom said. Instruc tors are encouraged to seek help voluntarily. "We are available throughout the school year to work on an in dividual basis on anything that can improve communication ef fectiveness," Greshom said. Departments and individual faculty members can request a videotape of their classroom per formance and an evaluation of it by individuals who have the back ground and training to discuss communication difficulties, he said. About 30 instructors have al ready come in this semester, he said. "There has not been as much utilization of this program as we thought," he said. Greshom said, "We are eager to help, but there is little we can do without a specific request." All new teaching assistants are required to attend University and departmental programs and workshops both prior to and dur ing their first teaching semester - all other help is voluntary. Perry said the dean of each col lege is responsible for assessing newly hired faculty members. If there is any doubt about their English language skills, then they go through a testing procedure, he said. "We want each faculty member to be the best teachers that they can be," he said. "We are build ing on the information that we get from students and faculty evalua tions." Faculty members, whose first language is not English, are re quired to pass an English profi ciency exam. Gage said. However, Greshom said, the proficiency test is flawed because "there are still a lot of language problems." Smoking Continued from Page 1 To help smokers deal with the new policy, Mobley requested the Human Resources Depart ment conduct smoking cessation clinics. Dr. Paul Kingery, wellness program director for Human Re sources, said the clinics will begin before the policy gqes into effect. "The details are not worked out," Kingery said. "It's a little premature to talk about it right now." The memo states enforcement of the policy will rely on "thoughtfulness, consideration and cooperation of smokers and non-smokers for its success." Gage said enforcement of Mobley's order will be left up to supervisors. "We have a lot of support and the people who would break the rules would be addressed by the supervisors to please abide," he said.
