Relationship to Background Characteristics: The Witch Hunt for Potential Biases in Students' Evaluations.

Marsh, Herbert W.

International Journal of Educational Research, v11 n3 p305-29 1987

Methodological problems have so biased the search for potential biases in student ratings of university teachers that the search itself has approximated a witch hunt. Meta-analysis and systematic review are required for more accurate estimates of the size of effects that have been reported and the conditions under which they were found. (SLD)
