Methodological Explanations for the Modest Effects of Feedback from Student Ratings.

L'Hommedieu, Randi; And Others

Journal of Educational Psychology, v82 n2 p232-41 Jun 1990

Quantitative research on feedback that college teachers receive from student ratings is methodologically critiqued. The critique is based on a recently completed review and statistical study of 28 related studies by R. L'Hommedieu, R. J. Menges, and K. T. Brinko. Feedback effects may be stronger than research indicates. (SLD)
