...order to further increase its efficacy. Recently, the College has made several improvements to the evaluations, such as moving to online forms in the spring of 2005 and adding some course-specific questions this fall. In addition, the current one-to-five numeric scale should be expanded to a seven-point system, since students’ hesitancy to grade below a “3” effectively shortens the scale to three points...
...never going to win a match.”The Crimson battled back to within one after a kill by junior co-captain Suzie Trimble, who posted a team-high 14 kills, made it 10-11. Just two points later, Brown (6-12, 2-4 Ivy) began a seven-point run to widen their advantage to 12-19, as the Crimson committed two attack and three ball handling errors in that span.After that point, the Crimson closed the deficit but only came within three points of Brown, as the Bears took the first game decisively, 30-25.The second game began...
...buried in them is a sign of hope for American education. True, the scores are actually a bit lower than last year?s - the combined average for the SAT?s math and reading sections fell seven points, to 1,021, the biggest single-year decrease since 1975, when the score dropped 16 points, to 1,010. But statistically speaking, a seven-point decline (out of a possible 1,600 on those two sections) isn?t much. It?s less than the value of a single question, which is about 10 points.

...course selection resources, the CUE survey should be modified to help it better convey the information that students need and want. As we have suggested in the past, the CUE survey ought to be shortened, and the current grading scale of one to five should be expanded to a seven-point system. Currently, students only rarely rate professors or teaching fellows below “3,” and expanding the scale would allow student to get a better sense of the actual quality of their professors. Moreover, the survey needs to be rewritten to help identify particular strengths...
...discussion could have started two Saturdays ago, after the Crimson blew a seven-point lead with five minutes to go at Cornell. Or it could have started the following Friday, when Harvard handed Princeton a win despite holding a six-point advantage with less than one minute to play. Failing that, it definitely should have come this past Friday night, after Brown, a team which the Crimson beat by 17 on the road three weeks prior, soundly thumped Harvard on its own floor...
