Are you worried? You should be. Tenure is disappearing. Post-tenure reviews are more prevalent. Yet an unusual procedure is occurring in higher education: The raw materials (i.e., students) are determining who are kept and fired. Student evaluation of teaching (SET) data is used at most universities/colleges to determine the effectiveness of instructors. There is controversy as to the validity and reliability of data from SET questionnaires. This book provides teaching tactics for teachers in order to manage SET scores.
Subject Matter/Highlights: Academic freedom • Due process • Pander pollution • Management of SET scores • Dishonesty of students • Reasons for grade inflation • Dysfunctional aspects of SETs • Types of teachers • Students’ pet peeves • Interdependence • Defamation/ discrimination issues • Legal liabilities • Grading • Fairness • Peer reviews • Teaching strategies • Post-tenure review strategies.
Intended Readers: Teaching nontenured and older faculty members are the appropriate target audience. Faculty members from universities where tenure has disappeared and in states/universities that have imposed post-tenure review (Texas, California, Florida, Virginia, Georgia, Harvard) should be interested.
