✦ Synopsis

Abstract

This chapter critically examines five issues surrounding the use of student evaluations of teaching for summative decisions: current practices, validity concerns, improving the reporting of results, improving the decision‐making process, and incorporating validity estimates into the decision‐making process. The author proposes that we can improve judgments by improving the precision of our measures.
