So, the professors can opt out, making this useless.
I looked up my courses and professors that I've had in the past. Many of them have made information available.
The College of Business opted to use the most useless questions possible to publish their stats. Of these questions:
1. The course was well organized.
2. The teacher made good use of examples and illustrations.
3. The teacher stimulated class participation.
4. The teacher encouraged questions and answered them effectively.
5. The pace of instruction was consistent with the difficulty of the subject.
6. The teacher was available and helpful.
7. The teacher gave useful and timely feedback on the results of assignments and exams.
8. The teacher was enthusiastic about teaching this course.
9. The teacher maintained a professional attitude and treated each student with respect.
10. How do you rate this instructor overall?
11. How do you rate this course overall?
I would not choose 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7. These answers are not an indicator of how I judge a course, overall (except maybe number 2). Why not a poll of the students to see which 5 questions they want answered? Somehow, I highly doubt the top 5 picks would even include 1-4 and 7.

They plan to refurbish Kraettli in the future? Really? Those apartments needed to be redone years ago! So they're redoing the new apartment buildings and letting the decades old, uninsulated, junky, ugly apartments wait for their turn. That's ridiculous. There are much better uses for the money.

I sincerely doubt that Republicans will choose her to run for president. Even some Oklahoman Republicans think she's a fool--she's not a Republican that the whole party can get behind, which is what they would need to win.

Why did they have to "roll out" the product in the middle of the academic year instead of for, say, summer enrollment? It seems like that would be a better test for initial problems and that OU jumped the gun a bit on implementation of this system.
Oh, and people have a right to be frustrated at complicated systems, dear anonymous. For many students, this is just another bit of red tape they've had to deal with when going to OU. School can be a bureaucratic nightmare and enrollment tends to test everyone's patience.
OU IT is having to deal with all the irritations of this new Sungard system, as well as the students and instructors. I feel like many people are just frustrated by the drastic and abrupt change from a familiar system. OZone enrollment doesn't have the facility of the 'point, click, preview, done' system that enroll had. I do not understand the necessity of CRN's and do not like that there is no semester planning, but they are working on the system to improve it. Like any piece of software, there will be bugs, issues, and grievances from the client.
I'm sincerely hoping that the current oZone system is like a 1.0 and will be continuously improved to become a more user-friendly system. Until then, the IT department has remained available for the users to address issues.

Property taxes subsidize education. The copious amount of churches in Oklahoma means less tax revenue. Tax church properties to improve education.

This recipe is absolutely awful. Or at least the directions are. So, you can cook it in an oven? How long? What temperature? Don't you need to skin the salmon? What student needs a 1.3 pound piece of salmon? What is the use of the crackers? Won't they just turn into sludge? This is ridiculous.

I just wish that Crossroads had some healthier options, since everything else in the Union is fast food and I can't always make it down to Cate Center. I had high hopes for the Laughing Tomato, but it's just not appealing. If there were more fruit and some vegetables, it'd be great. Although, I can see how it would be difficult to have fresher foods.
