As I mentioned in my post in April, one of my personal projects for Senate has been to help create a revamped Course Evaluations system for Olin Business School courses.
I have been working a lot over the summer with Dean Cannon and Dean King, the dean of Faculty in Olin on this project. There is definitely consensus that the current system is not optimal, and that changes should be proposed.
Over the summer, I sent out a survey (please feel free to take it) to my Senate Constituents regarding their views on the current system, and opinions on some proposed ideas for a new system. This feedback was taken very seriously, and now we are moving forward.
How You Can Help
I will be holding a couple meetings with a focus group of Olin students over the next month to further narrow down the logistics of the Evaluations (how they are taken, viewed etc) as well as the actual questions that are asked. If you are interested in joining this group, please email me at novickj@wustl.edu for more information.
My hope is to have a proposal for a new Course Evaluations system endorsed by Olin undergraduates and graduates as well as the Olin administration, sent upstairs for approval by October.
Please leave comments about what you would like to see in new Course Evals, where you’d like to see them, or any other questions or concerns, I’d love to hear them.
Thanks for reading!
