Abstract
Student ratings of instruction (SRI) can provide meaningful student feedback for improving teaching. However, SRI data are often underutilized for formative purposes and overemphasized in summative decisions. We discuss best practices for faculty evaluation, including how to correctly use SRI data in a comprehensive faculty evaluation system.
