Professor Evaluations

The university requires students to complete written evaluations of their professors at the end of each course taught during the semester. But the current system is private, since only the professors actually read the evaluations once the students submit them. I suggest that the university publish these evaluations online for everyone to read. Both professors and students would benefit from having these evaluations published.  Professors would feel more motivated to improve their teaching if they knew that their course evaluations were publicly available to all students. In addition, prospective students could read the evaluations and make more informed decisions about which classes they want to take.

Sincerely,
