- Abstract
The importance of expectations and lack of change in student evaluation of teaching scores are key criticisms of the evaluation instrument even though prior research shows students are able to separate expectations from the final evaluation. Our research shows significant changes do occur when results are segregated by course division level. Those changes are often small, one-unit positive or negative changes from initial student perceptions leading to an average score reflecting no change. Nearly half of students change their overall instructor appraisal across the semester.
