Author(s): Natalie Blades*+
Companies: Brigham Young University
Address: Department of Statistics---230 TMCB, Provo, UT, 84602,
Keywords: ordinal response ; bayesian probit model
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.
