The Effects of Different Instructions on Student Ratings of University Courses and Teachers |
| |
| Abstract: | AbstractThe purposes of the present study were to investigate the influence of three sets of instructions, class level, and academic rank on teacher/course evaluation by student raters. Students did not differ in their teacher/course evaluation ratings when the instructions specified the evaluation results would be used: (a) only by the instructor, (b) by the administration, or (c) by students for course selection purposes. The evaluation of graduate courses did not differ from that of undergraduate courses. A statistical difference was found between the academic ranks examined. Specifically, graduate teaching assistants received higher ratings than did either assistant or full professors. |
