My Comments on Your Evaluation Forms

evaluation is hard, isn’t it?
it is clear that some of you just picked a number, usually 4, but sometimes 3, and just gave that score for all five categories
- you did not consider the criteria in each category
- you took the easy way out
some also gave the same scores to everyone
- I can't tell who filled out which form, but I can tell if two forms are filled out by the same person
- if you don’t discriminate between things, your decisions are random
- I’m sorry, but not all of the projects are “really excellent” on all five of the evaluation criteria
I hope that this gives you some idea of how hard it is to evaluate others’ work and some understanding of what professors go through
- however, evaluation is not limited to those of us in the teaching profession
you will have to do the same in industry as you move up the administrative ladder
