EMU students push for online prof evaluations - JANET MILLER, Ann Arbor News

When Eastern Michigan University student Edward Davis II went looking for a class to fill his science requirement, he decided on astronomy. The idea of learning about the stars and constellations was appealing. What he didn't know was that it was a difficult class with a professor who was a tough grader. Davis said he struggled in the class and wants others to learn from his experience. "Had I known, I would have steered clear of that professor, or at least gone into it with a different mind-set," he said. He is among a group of student leaders at EMU lobbying the university to post student evaluations of courses and professors online. While the evaluations have for years been published in a booklet, the information is outdated and hard to access, said Davis, student body president.
