Using the TBC, we compared students’ and teachers’ perceptions of excellent teaching in different disciplines at a private university in Colombia. Faculty and students in all fields rated being respectful and being a good communicator as the two most important qualities of excellent teachers. Differences in students’ and faculty's perceptions across disciplines related to teachers’ attributes associated with both the caring and supportive and professional competency subscales.
