The system for evaluating has long been flawed, and student participation has suffered as a result. Today, a motion will go before the Faculty to enact substantive and extensive reform of the course evaluation process. We strongly encourage the Faculty to attend the meeting and usher Harvard’s course evaluation system into a new and more effective era.The chief fault of the current course evaluation system...
