When evaluating faculty, student feedback should absolutely be considered—but it shouldn’t be the sole component of measurement.

In order to facilitate balanced faculty evaluation, systems of evaluation should integrate multiple sources of evidence, such as classroom observation, self-evaluation, peer feedback, review of curriculum materials, and much more. This in turn helps foster a holistic view of faculty effectiveness and identify areas for improvement.

Developing an Effective Faculty Evaluation System, a Magna Online Seminar, presented by Ken Ryalls, PhD, president of The IDEA Center. You’ll learn how to create a transparent evaluation process that enables fair, balanced, and important decisions about faculty job performance.
