This program is designed to help new law school professors, perhaps even those who have just received student evaluations from their first semester of teaching, figure out the meaning, usefulness, and limits of student evaluations. To do so, seasoned law professors will share some of the comments they received after their first semester of teaching. In addition, speakers will address the bias and limitations of student evaluations forms, and will provide some suggestions for revising forms to address some of the limitations. And finally, speakers will offer suggestions on how to process and use evaluations to improve teaching performance.
