Student Course Evaluations

It's that time of the semester again, where all of the professors hand out the white-and-brown quizzes and the blue sheets for you to rate their performance and provide suggestions and feedback for the future. Interestingly, even the music department is required to hand these out, which means there are a lot of "not applicable" bubbles to fill in on the first sheet.

At any rate, the results from these evaluations actually do end up somewhere, meaning that you can actually supplement your ratemyprofessor search by looking up past data for various courses and who was teaching them. The blue sheets, while they take more time to fill out, are probably a little more directly helpful to the professor. Many of them have made changes in the course in subsequent semesters based on this feedback.

Although it seems like an annoyance, I encourage you to take the the time to fill these sheets out. By providing this feedback you help many classes and professors improve.
