About This Episode
Do positive student evaluations mean we're effective teachers, and do negative evaluations necessarily mean we're ineffective?
Student evaluations provide valuable insights into students' experiences, but they don't always reflect what students have learned. In this episode of Catalyzing Your Teaching and Scholarship, we explore what research reveals about the validity and potential biases of student evaluations, along with alternative approaches to assessing teaching effectiveness. Discover how student learning outcomes, peer observations, instructor reflection, and multiple sources of evidence can help faculty better understand and strengthen their teaching.
