...term quickly approaches, the Committee on Undergraduate Education (CUE) is considering an overhaul of the existing course evaluation system. At present, the CUE evaluation guide is compiled from student-based analyses of their current course loads—an assessment of professors, workload and difficulty, among a number of criteria—in effort to provide prospective enrollees with a valuable tool when selecting classes. The CUE Guide’s full potential, however, is hardly being realized at the moment, and there are many revisions of the current system that the Committee should consider...
...reality of the end-of-year mentality can not be ignored; with many CUE Guide evaluations having to include often small percentages of participating students, steps must be taken to ensure a greater response rate...
Sadly, only the truly dedicated students file into sparsely filled lecture halls at the end of the year. As a result, those present for CUE evaluations are most likely to be more partial to the course than those who do not get their hands on a form. In order to secure a less biased response, the evaluations should be administered before final exams, which will allow for centralization and acquire a true reflection of students’ sentiment—as absenteeism would no longer be an obstacle...
With more comprehensive data, it would be necessary to smarten the CUE guide’s rather rudimentary website. Personalized responses from students should appear online to be accessed by perusing Harvard students—with particularly telling responses excerpted and included in the course write-ups—as well as the statistics from the course’s rating results. An integration of the online course catalogue, class syllabi and a revamped CUE guide would also be an effective tool—giving students a variety of necessary class-selection resources at their fingertips...
