Using Student Ratings Of Faculty In The Instructional Development Process, Phil Backlund

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Student ratings remain the most common yet least trusted feedback source for college teaching improvement and personnel decisions. This article reviews misconceptions about their reliability, validity, and relationship to factors such as course level, elective status, and grading patterns, drawing on decades of research to show that well designed instruments can yield consistent and informative results. It argues that ratings should function as one element within a broader instructional development model that also incorporates self reflection, peer review, and administrative data.

"Vaine Opinions, Flattering Hopes, False Valuations": Some Problems In Faculty Evaluation And Recruiting, Peter Garvie

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Drawing on historical anecdotes, this essay critiques the bureaucratization of faculty evaluation and recruiting in U.S. universities. Using the 1768 appointment of poet Thomas Gray as a starting point, it traces how informal, patronage-based hires evolved into multi-layered procedures that create an ‘absurd’ faith in objectivity. Four fallacies are identified: the illusion of abundant objective evidence, the belief that numerical scoring enhances accuracy, the assumption that codified detail guarantees wiser judgments, and the conviction that involving more reviewers ensures better decisions. Through examples of distorted reference letters, anonymous allegations, and tenure cases deferred until the final year, the analysis shows …
