Can professors buy student evaluation? - Our colleagues reveal the secret in their recently published journal paper

September 27, 2020

The prestigious Assessment and Evaluation in Higher Education (Scopus D1, Scimago Q1) published the results of Zombor Berezvai, Gergely Lukáts, and Roland Molontay about the connection of grade inflation and student evaluation of teaching. The authors investigate the effects of grade inflation on SET (student evaluation of teaching) scores using four years of data from two leading Hungarian universities, BME and Corvinus. Their findings suggest that increasing the grade of a student by one will cause them to give approximately 0.2–0.4 higher evaluations for the instructor in the SET survey.
