Abstract:
|
We propose a context within which student evaluations of teaching may be more meaningfully interpreted. Based on one-million student evaluations, we demonstrate the effects of putative confounders of student ratings and propose a probit model for evaluating instructor effectiveness given demographic information about the students in the course.
