Letter: Peloso clarifies position on Pratt course evaluations

I am writing to clarify my position on course evaluations in Pratt School of Engineering as stated in a Feb. 27 Chronicle article. It is necessary to recognize that the nature of engineering courses may be different from that of the range of courses offered in Trinity College, and therefore, a review of the course evaluation for Pratt students would be beneficial. I am strongly in favor of developing a course evaluation system for Pratt, but I do not want to extend SACES to Pratt if it would be possible to create a system tailored more specifically to engineering classes in order to give Pratt students the best tool possible with which to evaluate courses.
