"I came to you first to complain, thinking that the department
was lax leaving them around in the lecture hall. I or anyone else
could have filled out any number of them, since we were told to leave
our finished evaluations in the NERD office. I was disturbed that
the students were not taking them seriously. It seemed to indicate
to me that the nutrition course was not considered important enough
to be properly evaluated. That bothered me.
"You assured me that the evaluation process wasn't unique
to the nursing course and took me to the NERD office to see
how the medical students evaluation was conducted.
"I was appalled. Throughout my training, it was stressed
how important the process is. At the colleges I attended,
they were taken seriously--a representative from the student
government would sign out the required number of forms from
the administration official and bring them to the classroom.
"All teachers or instructors had to leave the room while
we filled out our evaluation. They were collected, counted
and brought back to the administration official. The data was
given to the instructor but never the evaluations themselves
because student confidentiality was considered to be an
important step in the process.
