CUE Examines Room Crowding, Book Prices

Students report problems with Coop, lack of class space

Suggestions for increasing interest in early morning classes included giving earlier exam slots for early morning classes, holding sections early, and having some Core classes meet early to keep down enrollment.

The committee on Classroom Space is conducting a classroom audit to determine the conditions of Harvard rooms.

"We really want some feedback from the people who teach and learn in these rooms," Herschbach said.

She suggested student surveys on the quality of instructional space.

CUE members discussed the possibility of an electronic survey or only conducting surveys for the classrooms that the audit deems problematic.

"I think this survey would probably work best if you targeted a particular set of classrooms," said Harry R. Lewis '68, dean of the College.

"That way you would have a small enough number so the project would be manageable and a large enough response rate to tell us something," Lewis added.

The CUE committee also appointed a new member. Bossert replaced Michael Hasselmo, Loeb associate professor of social sciences. Hasselmo is leaving for Boston University at the end of the semester.

"It's just for one semester," Bossert said of his term on the CUE committee. "I think it is very interesting. There are more things that we can actually do something about--like textbook prices and classroom spaces on this committee."
