Does Gpa Have Anything To Do Regarding Faculty Evaluations??

Student evaluation of faculty is the most widely used mechanism to examine the quality of teaching and effectiveness of professors. A research study was conducted in SPSU Construction Department to examine the teaching effectiveness. The spatial transferability of the faculty evaluation mechanisms, without regard to spatial socio-cultural differences, is discussed in this study based on the collected data and following a thorough literature review and statistical analysis. The result of this study is the extension of the previous year study. It was found that students’ GPA has direct relations with their perceptions regarding teaching evaluations. Students with higher GPAs are against missing lectures by faculty and disapprove the acceptance of a lower class performance by faculty. Instead, they favor such course and faculty traits as having projects assigned to the course, providing ample office hours, lecturing clearly, real-life applications and faculty fairness.
