Using SERVQUAL to Measure the Quality of the Classroom Experience (2008, methodology): “…4—Correlation Between Expected Grade and Student Evaluations As discussed earlier, one major concern with the use of student evaluations is the issue of grade expectation bias; in other words, are students who are expecting to receive high grades biased in their evaluations (Eiszler, 2002)?”
On Students’ (Mis)judgments of Learning and Teaching Effectiveness (2020, background): “Instructors who grade leniently typically receive higher atings than do instructors who grade more conservatively e.g., DuCette & Kenney, 1982; Eiszler, 2002; Ewing, 2012; reenwald & Gillmore, 1997a, 1997b; Holmes, 1972; Isely & ingh, 2005; McPherson, 2006; Olivares, 2001; Stroebe, 2016; ut see…”
Is Grade Inflation Related to Faculty Status? (2005, methodology): “%) was far less than the 47% reported by Eiszler (2002) in a 1999 study of a midsized public university in the midwestern United States.”
On the Validity of Student Evaluation of Teaching (2013, background): “The tyranny of the evaluation form may lead to grading leniency, which can result in grade inflation (Crumbley, Flinn, & Reichelt, 2010; Eiszler, 2002; Ellis, Burke, Lomire, & McCormack, 2003; Langbein, 2008; Oleinik, 2009; Redding, 1998).”
Instructors’ perspectives on the utility of student ratings of instruction (2009, background): “…part, to concerns raised in anecdotal reports about student ratings being ‘‘popularity contests’’ that are related to a number of negative consequences such as a reduction in faculty morale and grading standards (e.g., Armstrong 1998; Eiszler 2002; Gray and Bergmann 2003; Sproule 2000; Trout 2000).”
Student Evaluation Of College Teaching: A Practice In Search Of Principles (2004, background): “Eiszler (2002) found that the use of SETs was a weak but contributing factor in grade inflation over time.”
