Beins, Barney – Teaching of Psychology, 1984
The effectiveness of a Sensation and Perception course was improved when the teacher used slides in his presentations.

Therefore, the intended use of evaluations, for feedback or administrative decisions, should dictate data analysis methods. For example, when evaluation data are to be used as feedback, consideration needs to be given to the student performance…

Cohen, Peter A.; Herr, Gregory – Teaching of Psychology, 1982
The hypothesis of this study was that college instructors who were given a programed feedback booklet designed to help them review, interpret, and use mid-term student-rating data would show greater teaching improvement than would instructors who received descriptive rating feedback alone or no feedback at all. Results provide partial support for…

This article investigates correlation of course and student characteristics and whether student responses on general…

Waters, Marie; And Others – Teaching of Psychology, 1988
