How to Evaluate Team Teaching

You basically have 5 options when you evaluate team taught courses. The selection of what option you choose is dependent upon class size and the purpose of the rating. Those options include:

  1. Randomly dividing a class in half and having half of the class rate each instructor. This is effective if you have at least 30 total respondents and the course objectives are the same for each instructor.
  2. Have students complete ratings forms for all faculty. teaching the course (rate different faculty on different days).
  3. Rate different faculty in different semesters.
  4. Create a separate additional question for each instructor (e.g. Overall, I rate Professor X an excellent teacher).
  5. Telling students to rate the overall impact of the course and treat all instructors as if they were one person.
