Exercise 12

Consider how you might rate the performance of three instructors from whom you are currently taking a course. (If you are currently taking only one or two courses, consider this course and two you have recently completed.)
a.Would it be harder to rate the instructor's performance or to rank their performance? Why?
b.Write three items to use in rating the instructors - one each to rate them in terms of an attribute, a behavior, and an outcome.
c.Which measure in Part b do you think is most valid? Most reliable? Why?
d.Many colleges use questionnaires to gather data from students about their instructors' performance. Would it be appropriate to use the data for administrative decisions? Developmental decisions? Other decisions? Why or why not?
