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.

If you think science courses are inherently boring and have nothing
to offer you, try Molecular Science for Citizens. This course (listed as
Chemistry 106 under the old title in the schedule book) has been
developed and will be taught by Drs. John Hogg and Donald Sawyer,
professors of chemistry, and Dr. James Wild, professor of biochemistry
and biophysics and of genetics. The course will provide a conceptual in
troduction to the molecular nature of all natural and man-made
materials as well as biological organisms. It will be offered in the fall of
1993 (M W F 9:10-10:00) and applies to the core curriculum
requirement in science. It is endorsed by the Colleges of Architecture,
Liberal Arts, and Business Administration. The laboratory (listed as
Chemistry 116) has been developed by Dr. Larry Peck and will be unlike
any science laboratory you've experienced. To recieve the maximum
benefit from the course students should register for the laboratory as
well.
Stop by Room 2109 Chemistry before registration to inspect a
complete syllabus.
