Student Ratings of Faculty

in higher education. This article offers suggestions and comments regarding the utilization of evaluative procedures and presents a sample evaluation form. Both the evaluation form and the procedures will, in many instances, require adjustments to make them suitable for employment in different institutions of higher education, and within particular institutions, because the purposes, techniques, and methods of instruction vary widely in the heterogeneous assemblage of educational institutions and academic disciplines that comprise higher education. Changes in teaching methods, in degrees of emphasis given to course objectives, and in the goals of higher education are occurring and are certain to continue to take place, moreover, in the increasingly dynamic academic community. The author believes, however, that the procedures and the form suggested herein, with appropriate adjustments for existing circumstances, are worthy of consideration by all who seek to secure more effective use of student evaluations of courses and teachers.
