HouseSYSTEM is much more than an online flea market. It’s a mishmash of attractively implemented and well-intentioned services, each unfortunately underutilized. Among these, CriticalMass was heralded last year as a CUE-Guide replacement that would allow students to express their true feelings about their courses. Apparently most people feel apathetic: the most recent posts I could find dated back to last July. The site’s online message board, which would provide a virus-free and unrestricted alternative to House lists, also has yet to take off. Rounding out the services offered, the events calendar...
...professor’s responsibility is not just to accumulate knowledge, but also to “profess” it to others. Thus I was mostly grateful to hear that students on the Committee on Undergraduate Education (CUE) had written a report recommending improvements to shopping period. After all, good pedagogy has to begin somewhere—and preferably with the first few days of class. The report’s “new” ideas for faculty are really rehashes of things teachers should know to do anyway, but for some reason frequently don?...
...recent memory. But while Dean of the Faculty William C. Kirby’s petrifying preregistration proposal may be dead and buried, it is heartening to note that student interest in enhancing the course selection process has not ebbed. Last Wednesday, student members of the Committee on Undergraduate Education (CUE) presented a report recommending a number of ways for professors to make shopping period more valuable to students...
Last week’s report to the CUE recommends a number of common-sense solutions to solve these problems. The most important, is having professors post syllabi and lottery details to the Internet far in advance of the first day of classes. Right now, some professors—especially those with active head teaching fellows—get their course information up on the web quickly, in time to aid student shopping. There are plenty of others, though, who don’t even bother to well into the term. If they would get their acts together, professors could...
...student representatives on the CUE warned, these recommendations should not give profesors carte blanche to increase academic demands in the first week of the term. Students do want to see more of the real thing in order to make more pedagogically sound decisions; but more work early on would just hamper them from exploring a range of different classes and choosing the ones that best suit them. Instead, professors should stick to presenting a brief overview of course material to acquaint prospective students with the content and methodology of the course. Professors should remember that as long as it?...
