Evaluations:
The Pamplin College of Business at Virginia Tech uses a twelve-item questionnaire to assess
teaching performance. The scale ranges from 5 (excellent) to 1 (unsatisfactory). Student ratings
are shown below by semester and course. My student ratings place me well above the average of
student ratings in the management department.
Fall 1998: Two sections of undergraduate Organizational Behavior with 35 and 29 students
respectively. Overall rating of instructor: 4.83 and 4.93/5.00.
Spring 1999: Two sections of Principles of Management with 72 and 53 students
respectively. Overall rating of instructor: 4.82 and 4.86/5.00.
Fall 1999: Three sections of Organizational Behavior with 27, 30, and 39 students
respectively. Overall rating of instructor: 4.75, 4.78, and 4.62/5.00.
The College of Business at Lipscomb University uses a thirty-item questionnaire to assess
teaching performance. The scale ranges from 5 (excellent) to 1 (poor). The average of my
student ratings for overall teacher effectiveness across all courses taught (both finance and
management) during my last two years at Lipscomb (Fall 1995 – Spring 1997) was
approximately 4.50/5.00. The average of my student ratings for overall teacher effectiveness for
management courses only was approximately 4.65/5.00 over the same period. I averaged 39
students per course during this period.
