Student Rating Systems

The statistics unit of my college class spends quite a bit of time talking about valid studies. As an extra credit assignment, I asked my class to make up a survey that could evaluate their teachers. It is interesting that not one question in this study deals with test grades. Kids are a lot brighter than the people running the school system.

Survey 1:
This is a confidential assessment that will help evaluate your teacher’s performance.
