“Thoughts on Evaluation”

We in the Center are aware of diverse viewpoints regarding teaching evaluation. A recent article by Robert Boice and Jim Turner ("Helping Faculty Recognize Myths About Teaching Evaluations", which appeared in Vol. 6, No. 4, pp. 159-161, Winter, 1988 issue of The Journal of Staff, Program and Organizational Development) addressed a summary of misunderstandings and literature related to teaching evaluation. We reproduce here their major findings for your consideration.
