Re: [Phys-l] Research into student evaluations

["David T. Marx" <marx@phy.ilstu.edu>]

I recommend a look at this book:
Changing Practices in Evaluating Teaching: A Practical Guide to Improved Faculty 
Performance and Promotion/Tenure Decisions by Peter Seldin (Editor) 

The student evaluations are (surprisingly) a valid measure of teaching performance.  
There are a lot of miscomceptions about student evals.  This book includes studies of 
evals.
