Increased participation by the student body should be able to provide a clearer picture of what a class actually entails. Indeed, many courses in this year’s Q Guide had rather incomplete evaluations as a result of low participation rates. We also hope that the new policy is a sign of things to come. In the past, many students have expressed frustration with the Registrar for its overly bureaucratic and arbitrary methods, especially the 10-day waiting period to receive final grades...
