Faculty members also have the option to include a block of six "student core" questions on the back of their evaluation sheet.
UISG adviser Bill Nelson said the questions, addressing general areas of course effectiveness, were created by UISG officials about three years ago to provide additional feedback "to students, from students."
If instructors choose to include "student core" questions on their evaluation sheets, the UISG receives the complied information to further analyze. It is then up to them to distribute this information.
Anderson said that, at this point, he is unfamiliar with the process but plans to work with Moore over winter break to assess "student core" findings. He also aims to address his idea to include the information on ISIS at the close of the semester.
"The whole concept of student evaluations of courses and instructors is an ongoing thing that's very typical for student governments both near and far," Nelson said. "That peer-to-peer loop that is always valued."

Make your evaluations public. What could you possibly have to fear?

During my 34 years at the UI, I have made available my course evaluations to students on a few occasions. I didn't keep track of who read them, or if anyone found them useful. (Continued…)
