چکیده
Is high-quality teaching the only thing measured by student evaluations of teaching (STE)? What other factors partially explain them? Late in 2011, the Committee on the Comprehensive Evaluation of Teaching (CCET) commissioned Institutional Research (IR) to study various hypotheses about influences on ratings. This paper summarizes results of analyses that address questions posed by the CCET regarding the new course evaluation form implemented in fall 2009. In brief, we identified a number of factors with moderate to large influences on ratings, some of which may have policy implications.
