Abstract:

This paper develops a model for including the results of student evaluations as part of an overall Faculty Evaluation Program. The approach is pragmatic in that the modeling effort avoids the impossible task of ranking all faculty members as a subset used to develop the model. This subset is tested using the Quade test to verify that ranking of the individual faculty members in the subset is justified. The model is regression based using the six summary scores obtained from Student Instructional Reports. The model is compared to published results of studies of the evaluation process.
