Rating the lecturer: a study of how different disciplines used comparative criteria.

Full Abstract

Faculty members from medicine, nursing, social work, and law, as well as a group of medical students, tested their own criteria for a good lecturer; each group focused on different aspects of the behaviors sought in the good lecture. The "Dr. Fox" paradigm was the lecture chosen; all groups failed to identify the deliberately incorporated failings. These results were then compared with the results obtained by using a standardized rating form in current use within a major university.
