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....
The new website eduHookups.com allows college students from select universities to place personal ads looking for casual sexual encounters. Although the website offers a place for students looking for serious relationships as well, that is hardly why...
As another semester draws closer to its end, I begin the countdown of how many months are left until I graduate. I'm a sophomore now, so by the end of May, I would hope to only have roughly 24 left to complete. What can I say? I'm a bit of a dreamer....

Gov. Quinn's budget proposal has come under some criticism for its plans to cut $1.3 billion in education. One portion of that cut includes cutting all funding of the state-mandated Regional Offices of Education. If you're like I was and have no clue...
When you hear the words "spring break," you automatically think of laying out on the beach, partying all day, going out clubbing and meeting lots of people. What you probably do not think about are the people who have gotten hurt over spring break, suffered...
Despite the overwhelming opposition to altering the grading systems, I support the conversion. To date, I have yet to hear a valid reason why there shouldn't be a change. This conversion would actually help students to be rewarded for better work, rather...
