Description

Are you working on some course revisions for the spring semester? Writing your annual review, preparing for portfolio review, or just spending some time reflecting on your teaching? How do students’ formal reviews of your teaching contribute to your teaching “story”? Join us in this session where we will discuss the validity, reliability, bias, and appropriate uses of student reviews of teaching. We will also discuss other ways to get feedback from students.

Objectives

  • Participants will consider the affordances and constraints of using student reviews of teaching to determine teaching effectiveness.
  • Participants will learn how to incorporate student reviews of teaching and other sources of student feedback into informal and formal review processes.

Prerequisites

  • Optional Pre-work: It might be helpful to you if you read Evaluating Student Evaluations of Teaching: a Review of Measurement and Equity Bias in SETs and Recommendations for Ethical Reform before the session. (Link: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10805-021-09400-w)
