Abstract:
According to newspaper accounts, national surveys, and personal experience, faculty are being evaluated more and more. Colleague appraisals and judgments about a professor's quality of research have a long and accepted tradition, but the evaluation of instruction has been based primarily on student assessments. Colleague evaluation of teaching has often been second hand, with much of it based on student comments to advisors. While students should have considerable input into evaluation of instruction, they should not make the sole source of evaluation information (Brandenburg, Braskamp, and Ory, 1979)
