Our university holds a campus-wide survey at the end of each
semester. The findings of the survey are relayed to the different
departments as well as to the teachers. Currently, the top teachers and the
course that they gave for each depatrment are published. The students here
are trying to have the complete findings published, especially the
worst-rated teachers but the university is unwilling to do so.

The public domain part of the surevy appears on all the department
billboards. The censored part of the sruvey appears as a computer printout
to the faculties, departments, and teachers, with each body receiving a
printout limited in scope to itself, i.e. no teacher necessarily knows the
ratings of the other teachers. The sole exception to this is the total
department rating which appears in all the printouts.

The computer science department conducts a special survey of its own
among the first year students in an effort to improve the courses.
This survey is usually conducted one month after the start of the semester.
Since the population polled is under 80 members, this survey has proven
very effective.
