Our university now requires students to make written evaluations of professors. I suggest that schools send these evaluations online so that everyone can see them. Sending evaluations online is good for professors and students. If the professor knows that everyone will see the evaluation of their own courses, they are more motivated to improve the quality of teaching. In addition, students who have not selected courses can read these evaluations to make better decisions in course selection.
The university requires students to complete written evaluations of their professors, and I suggest that the university publish these evaluations online for everyone to read. Both professors and students would benefit from having these evaluations published.

In addition, prospective students could read the evaluations and make more informed decisions about which classes they want to take.

The latest national survey shows that undergraduates choose university majors mainly to see whether this major will work in the future. In our school, economics is the hottest major, so students must think that studying economics is the best job in the future. So, if we focus our advertising and recruitment efforts on promoting the achievements of our school ’s most famous economics professors and how well economics students are looking for work, we will increase our enrollment.
The most recent nationwide surveys show that undergraduates choose their major field primarily based on their perception of job prospects in that field. At our university, economics is now the most popular major, so students must perceive this field as having the best job prospects.

The business school will require all students to sign up to participate in such a project, that is, in local enterprises, large enterprises and small businesses can do a semester of work to gain work experience. We think this work experience is good for students, because it will develop students' leadership and organizational skills, which are often not learned in the classroom or school environment. In addition, the relationship established by the student with the company where TA works may help the student get a formal job in the company after the project ends and after graduation.
The business studies department will now require all students enrolled in its program to complete one semester of work experience in a local corporation or small business. It is felt that students will benefit from this work experience by developing leadership and organizational skills that would not normally be learned in a classroom or campus setting.
