Grades—Who's to Blame? Student Evaluation of Teaching and Locus of Control (2004, background): “Furthermore, high evaluation scores do not necessarily reflect high quality teaching and significant student learning (Becker 2000).”
Management by Results: Student Evaluation of Faculty Teaching and the Mis-Measurement of Performance. (2008, background): “Student opinions of faculty teaching have become the preferred, low-cost mechanism by which university administrators monitor faculty teaching, prevent "shirking," and maintain productivity (Seldin, 1993a; Kulik, 2001; Haskell, 1997; Ory, 2001; Ory and Ryan, 2001; Gray and Bergman, 2003; Becker, 200”
Teaching Methods in U.S. Undergraduate Economics Courses (2001, background): “, Becker and Watts 1998; Walstad and Saunders 1998). Other boolcs focus on particular teaching methods, such as using classroom experiments, spreadsheet applications, or active and cooperative-learning assignments (e.g., Bergstrom and Miller 1997; Hazlett 1999; Keenan and Maier 1995; Porter and Rile”
Student evaluations of teaching are an inadequate assessment tool for evaluating faculty performance (2017, background): “Administration wants to retain students, and prefers a low-cost system to monitor faculty that looks “objective” (see Becker, 2000; Sproule, 2000) But what about the faculty?”
Gender biases in student evaluations of teaching (2017, methodology): “Alternative methods include peer evaluations, evaluations by trained observers, instructor self-evaluations, evaluations from past students, and measures of student performance such as test scores [Becker, 2000; Becker et al., 2012].”
