Gathering students' feedback and evaluation during the end of every semester is believed to be valuable for instructors' growth and development. The present study is aimed to find out the validity of students' responses and various factors involved in their rating towards faculty. A total of 150 students from 1 st to 4th year of Abu Dhabi University participated in this study. Both male and female students from all the disciplines contributed in the study. The study also focused on covariates like gender, age, specializations, and students' GPAs to have any relation with their rating towards professors. Pearson's correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were employed to understand the various factors impacting students' perception of their instructors. The results revealed that gender, age, students' GPAs, and instructors' nationalities had positive effects on students' evaluation of their instructors.
