Rudy Garns's List: Teaching Evaluation

The paper provides an overview of student evaluations of college instructors. Reasons for and
appropriate uses of student ratings are examined. Sources of validity as well as bias are reviewed. Student self-insight into implicit and public theories is related to the ability to make valid,
thoughtful evaluations. Evaluations are described as multidimensional, stable, and a function of the instructor. Improvements to satisfy faculty, students, and to meet the needs of the information age conclude the paper.

Informal student evaluations of faculty were started in the 1960's by enterprising college students.(1) Since then, their use has spread so that now they are administered in almost all American colleges and universities and are probably the main source of information used for evaluating faculty teaching performance.(2) There is an enormous literature on the subject of student evaluations of faculty (SEF).(3) The following is a summary of some developments in that literature that should be of special interest to faculty, with particular emphasis on criticisms of SEF that have emerged recently. But I begin with the arguments in favor of the use of SEF.
