Abstract

This manuscript investigated the relation between student evaluations of teaching (SETs) and grades. Specifically, the research aimed to determine grades' causal effect on SETs and compare it to the effect of other instructor and course factors. Data collected from surveys at a US University and a Central American University were analyzed using panel data regression procedures. The findings revealed a positive grade effect on SETs at both institutions. Other instructor and course characteristics had relatively equal or smaller effects on SETs. The study findings can help faculty to enhance SETs scores and institutions when they assess their validity.
