Student Ratings Of Instruction Research Quiz - Quiz

Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    TAs generally get higher student ratings than faculty.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    TAs generally get higher student ratings than faculty. This statement is false. While it is possible for some TAs to receive higher ratings than certain faculty members, it is not a general trend. Student ratings can vary greatly depending on the individual TA or faculty member and their teaching style, knowledge, and ability to engage with students. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that TAs generally receive higher ratings than faculty.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Humanities type courses are higher rated than science type courses.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Humanities type courses are often considered higher rated than science type courses due to their focus on critical thinking, creativity, and the exploration of human experiences. These courses often involve studying literature, history, philosophy, and the arts, which are valued for their ability to broaden perspectives and foster a deeper understanding of the human condition. Science courses, on the other hand, are typically more focused on technical skills and empirical evidence. While both types of courses have their own merits, humanities courses are generally regarded as more intellectually stimulating and culturally enriching, leading to their higher rating.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Time of day the course is taught affects the ratings a course receives.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The time of day the course is taught does not affect the ratings a course receives.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Research productivity is positively correlated with teaching ratings.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that there is a positive relationship between research productivity and teaching ratings. However, this answer states that the statement is false. This means that there is no evidence to support the claim that research productivity and teaching ratings are positively correlated. It is possible that research productivity and teaching ratings are unrelated or even negatively correlated.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Alumni of a course give much higher ratings than current students.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that alumni of a course give higher ratings than current students, but the correct answer is false. This means that the ratings given by alumni are not necessarily higher than those given by current students. There could be various reasons for this, such as changes in the course curriculum or teaching methods over time, different expectations or perspectives of alumni and current students, or individual preferences and experiences. Therefore, it cannot be generalized that alumni always give higher ratings than current students.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Student ratings of instruction tend to be highly reliable.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Student ratings of instruction tend to be highly reliable because they provide valuable feedback on the effectiveness of teaching methods and the overall learning experience. Students are in a unique position to evaluate the quality of instruction as they are directly impacted by it. Their ratings can help identify areas for improvement and inform decisions on instructional strategies. Additionally, multiple studies have shown a strong correlation between student ratings and other measures of teaching effectiveness, further supporting their reliability.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Student ratings of instruction correlate positively with administrator ratings.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement suggests that there is a positive correlation between student ratings of instruction and administrator ratings. This means that when students rate the instruction positively, administrators also tend to rate it positively. This correlation indicates that both students and administrators have a similar perception of the quality of instruction, which suggests that the instruction is likely effective and meeting the expectations of both parties. Therefore, the correct answer is "True."

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    High course workload leads to lower student ratings.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that high course workload leads to lower student ratings. However, this is not necessarily true as the relationship between course workload and student ratings can vary. Some students may thrive under high workload and still rate the course positively, while others may struggle and rate it negatively. Therefore, it cannot be concluded that high course workload always leads to lower student ratings.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    This talk was informative?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given answer "True" suggests that the talk was informative. It implies that the talk provided valuable information or knowledge to the audience.
