Can Students' Ratings of Instruction Serve Rival Purposes?
Derry, J. O.
Journal of Higher Education, v50 n1 p79-88 Jan-Feb 1979
Formative and summative uses of students' ratings place conflicting demands on the composition of a rating form, but these conflicts are minimized when faculty partially control the content of evaluation. Under those criteria, the purposes served by students' ratings complement each other. Diagnostic use of ratings to improve instruction is discussed. (Author/LBH)
