The Effects of Varying Information about Use and Disposition of Results on University Students' Evaluations of Faculty and Courses.

Driscoll, Laura A.; Goodwin, William L.

American Educational Research Journal, v16 n1 p25-37 Win 1979

Different instructions accompanied faculty/course evaluation questionnaires distributed in university courses (stratified by level and size). Instructions differed in information conveyed about use and disposition of results. Instructions containing information about administrative or course improvement use produced higher ratings than those given by students not provided with that information. (Author/RD)
