Perusing through the paper I came across the article "Evaluating Teaching Evaluations." To my surprise, there was no mention of the student perspective on the matter. It probably takes about 15 minutes for a student to complete an evaluation. If you add...
It might benefit the NIU campus to be overrun by zombies more often. Well, maybe only games with zombies. Two weeks ago, 135 NIU students took part in a game of Humans vs. Zombies, a college game of "moderated tag," according to the official website....
DeKALB | The two NIU students charged with shooting NIU linebacker Devon Butler are "essentially expelled from the university and banned from the campus." Brad Hoey, team leader of Media Relations and Internal Communications, said Mark Orozco and Richard...
