University of Minnesota student leaders are urging faculty members to administer midsemester course evaluations starting next semester.
The Minnesota Student Association and the Student Senate voted last week to send a letter to department heads and college deans asking them to encourage their faculty members to use the evaluations.
Student Senate Chair Valkyrie Jensen said the groups aren’t asking for midsemester evaluations to be mandatory, but professors should utilize them because they can benefit faculty members and students.
