Newspaper Notes Professor Rating Research
Toronto’s Globe and Mail newspaper had a story about the correlation between online ratings of professors and official evaluations of professors’ teaching. The story noted research published in 2007 by Ted Coladarci and Irv Kornfield, who compared rating systems for UMaine professors and found a strong correlation between the two systems. Coladarci is a professor of educational psychology and director of institutional studies, and Kornfeld is a professor of biology and molecular forensics.
