Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2013 09:14:42 -0400 From: Joyce M Latham <[log in to unmask]> Suzanne et al., Different institutions place different values on formal student evaluations submitted at the close of a semester. At my institution, one class average evaluation below a 3.0 (out of 5.0) over a school year has a negative impact on the annual review, regardless of the reasons. Student evaluations also influence the tenure decision. Joyce
