Abstract

Examined the relationship between instructor personality and student evaluation of undergraduate and graduate education courses. Data were collected from 12 randomly selected College of Education courses containing 12 faculty and 203 students (93 undergraduates, 110 graduate students). Results of the California Psychological Inventory (students and faculty) and the Student Evaluation of Educational Quality (students) indicate that graduate courses were rated higher for instructors who were affective and sensitive, while undergraduates rated courses higher for instructors who were rational, practical, and independent.
