Feedback Survey to Be Changed
Many of the problems confronting Feedback, a survey of students that evaluates instructors and their teaching methods, have been solved, according to Phil McKnight, director of the Office of Instructional Resources.
"A greater teacher response points to the success of the survey," McKnight said. "The survey offers for the teacher a comparison of teaching methods. Many instructors appreciate this form of feedback information."
McKnight said Feedback had been reorganized under the Office of Instructional Resources. The University will now
"We will continue to work closely with the Student Senate, which has funded us the last three years."
McKnight said the survey would be issued only in the fall. "We ran the survey in both the spring and fall semesters to see if the norm," he said. "Now that we have established the norm, it will only be necessary to issue the survey once a year."
McKnight said that though the survey would remain largely the same, he anticipated using different approaches.
"We hope to have five questions the teachers may form and submit to the class," he said. "This will make the teacher more involved."
McKnight said the survey had two important functions—to provide comprehensive information about classes and to track students' progress.
"One means of disseminating this information will be provided by the norms report," he said. "This breaks the data into rank, school and teaching type. The individual student's performance in each class first twelve questions and compares his results with others."
McKnight said he would request that students be nominated for the board of directors to help determine the program's progress and objectives next fall. He said the program still had many obstacles to overcome.
"The research on the faculty observation is still in the beginning stage," he said. "We have come a long way, though. More faculty members have responded to the questionnaire."
There is no best way of teaching," he said. "We try to help students learn by improving their skills, do try to encourage faculty members to adhere to
McKnight said that though funding had been decreased, the expenses for next year had also decreased.
McKnight said it would be improper to establish a mandatory response to the survey by faculty members.
"We will run the survey only once next year, so we do not need as much money," said Conrad, concerned but the need was still clear. "With its abilities,
McKnight said that the survey would be located in 207 buildings. Persons interested in the survey can contact him in Bailor, CA.
Spooner Museum of Art
many pieces of art must remain in storage vaults for safe-keeping.
Antique Sampler Show Scheduled at Spooner
Once the University Library, Spoon Hall now is the home of space in space Spoon is limited.
By PAM BEGERT Kansan Staff Reporter
"Popularity of the exhibits depends on the show," Eldredge said.
Among scheduled exhibits at the Museum of Art for this year is a sample show in March of 17th, 18th and 19th century let- ters on the museum floor. The director of the museum, said recently.
Craft exhibits, such as a quilt show and a pop art exhibit that were shown one and one-half years ago, have drawn crowds, he said.
The exhibits shown at the museum cost money, usually in the form of a rental fee to other museums or organizations for packaged shows. Eldredge said.
Other exhibits shown are organized by staff members in the museum. Eldredge said they spend from 12 to 24 months planning exhibits.
The University of Kansas Museum of Art is state supported and is the largest museum of its kind in the state, Eldredge said.
Spooner Hall, built in 1894, was originally the university Library, Eldredge said, and it is now known as the Museum of Art building. "The museum has a definite lack of space,"
The museum has a definite lack of space, Eldredge said.
Because of the limited space, many pieces of art belonging to the University have been put into vaults for storage and safe keeping. Eldredge said. Several pieces of art are being stored because they are valuable and Spooner Hall does not have adequate climate control for displaying some works.
The Museum of Art acquires some of its art with funds provided by the University, but the majority are privately donated, Eldredge said.
The Museum of Art has galleries on all three floors of Spooner Hall. The ground
floor and upper floor have permanent display galleries.
European art through the 18th century is shown on the ground floor, and European and American art of the 19th and 20th centuries is displayed on the upper floor. The basement of Spooner Hall is used for the temporary exhibits, Eldredge said.
A collection of about 115,000 slides belonging to the department of art history is kept in the lower level of the museum, Eldredge said.
The sample show of stitchery will be in March. Other exhibits scheduled are a pre-Columbian and contemporary Costa Rica art to be shown in the fall, drawings by New York artist Michael Spanish Baroque drawings, and, in December, the Second Annual Sales Exhibition.
$75,000 Center Is in McCollum
A new $75,000-40,000 communications arts center in McColum Hall will be ready for fall semester, barring equipment delivery Fred McElhene, associate dean of men.
The center will have stationary and portable videotape equipment, videotape studios, a photography dark room, a laboratory, language key, punch machines, a computer linked to the University's main computer, typewriters and drafting tables.
The cost of remodeling and of equipment for the center will be paid by Mccollum residents through a $50-a-year contract cost increase. McEllenie said.
McEhennie said the center would attract many students when they realized the center wasn't only for those interested in radio, television and film.
