   Comments: This will indeed cause even greater grade inflation. One can see this among the highschool Wells applicants. Many students per class have 4.0 averages. This renders grades useless. It is a pernicious move.

    Name: James L. Goodson, Professor Of Biology on Oct 24, 2012

    Comments: I am particularly concerned that if students are not required to complete the evaluation (e.g., in order to be assigned a grade) that only disgruntled students will complete the evaluations.

    Comments: I also think that there should be mechanisms in place to strongly encourage participation of all students in any such evaluations, to prevent their being derived from a small set of students.

    Comments: Something that's currently missing is a larger framework for guiding discussions of issues concerning student ratings forms. Here are possible elements of such a framework: 1. The College supports having each department treat college teaching - as though it's more than a service obligation, - as thought it's worthwhile, respectable, challenging, and fascinating, - as though it's a profession (or part of a profession) rather than as an amateurish activity or hobby, - in scholarly ways, and - as a collective responsibility rather than as individual performances. 2. The College supports creation, in each department, of structures and forums in which instructors discuss and inquire (in the good sense) about student learning in programs and courses. 3. The College supports the development, in each department, of meaningful, well-thought-out systems for assessment of student learning and for evaluation of programs and courses. 4. The College supports having such systems for assessment and evaluation be transparent. 5. The College supports each department's decisions about how if at all, to use student ratings forms in those systems of assessment and evaluation.

    Comments: On a purely practical note, I've already heard from colleagues in the Ed School that because the evaluations are not filled out in class, some students are getting confused about which class they're evaluating and thus making comments that clearly have nothing to do with the course they are evaluating (talking about lecture in a discussion based class, commenting on writing assignments in an exam-based course, etc.).

    Comments: There is an expansive literature on the race/ethnic, gender, and sexuality biases that underpin students' evaluations of professors. If Indiana University is interested in maintaining diversity among its faculty, I would hope that the administration will take seriously the negative impact that publishing these evaluations will have on such diversity goals.

    Comments: Yes, agree completely. One size fits all, top-down education puts at risk both pathbreaking instruction and research.

    Comments: STE are, in crucial ways, unreliable indicators of either student learning or teaching excellence. Bad data in, equals bad data out.

    Name: Tessa Bent, Assistant Professor, Speech And Hearing Sciences on Oct 25, 2012

    Comments: I am concerned that fewer students will complete online evaluations and that there will be biases in which students elect to complete the evaluations. My guess is that students who feel strongly about the course or instructor either positively or negatively are more likely to complete the evaluation and, thus, the scores will not be reflective of the students in the course as a whole. A small group of students who were displeased with some aspect of the course could then completely distort the picture of the teaching and learning in the course.
