We examined webâbased ratings and openâended comments of teachingâaward winners (n = 120) and researchâaward winners (n = 119) to determine if teachingâaward winners received more favourable ratings and comments on RateMyProfessors.com. As predicted, students rated teachingâaward winners higher than researchâaward winners on measures of teaching quality (i.e. helpfulness and clarity). A higher percentage of teachingâaward recipients relative to researchâaward recipients received positive openâended comments about competence, use of humour, clarity, appearance and personality as well as both positive and negative openâended comments about level of course difficulty. We discuss implications of these findings for lending credibility to the RateMyProfessors.com indices and for promoting published faculty evaluations at postâsecondary institutions more generally.View full textDownload full textKeywordswebâbased student feedback, teaching quality, student ratings of instruction, published ratings of instruction, faculty evaluationRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/02602930802563094
