Top 10 Flashpoints in Student Ratings and the Evaluation of Teaching

What Faculty and Administrators Must Know to Protect Themselves in Employment Decisions

Beschreibung

This is designed to solve problems, conflicts, and confusion about how to evaluate teaching. The "flashpoints” covered are the topics that pop up the most frequently and heatedly on listservs, blogs, and the literature. Each flashpoint is defined succinctly, options are presented, and then evidence-based recommendations for concrete action steps are proffered in an effort to stop the popping. The recommendations are grounded in psychometric, professional, and legal standards.
