Is There Gender Bias in Student Evaluations of Teaching?

Centra, John A.; Gaubatz, Noreen B.

Journal of Higher Education, v71 n1 p17-33 Jan-Feb 2000

Analysis of data from 741 college classes in which there were at least 10 male and 10 female students revealed small gender preferences in student evaluations of teachers, particularly in female students rating female teachers. Teaching style rather than gender may explain these preferences. (Author/DB)
