A Study of Student Evaluations of African American Faculty at a Historically Black College/ University

Examining Student Evaluations of Black College Faculty: Does Race Matter? 2. I need the writer to re-write the attached pdf article and to change the title to: A Study of Student Evaluations of African American Faculty at a Historically Black College/ University The purpose of this study is two pronged. First, to describe the undergraduate student ratings of teaching effectiveness based on the traditional 36-ltem end-of-course evaluation form used in the School of Education (SOE) at a Southeastern North Carolina teaching focused Historically Black College/University (HBCU) institution. Second, using critical race theory (CRT) to compare the teaching effectiveness for the tenure-track faculty in this study based on race (Caucasians, African Americans, and Other racial groups including Asians, Latinos, and Native Americans). Three academic years of undergraduate level courses were used to analyze student ratings for 28 items (26 multidimensional, which address specific topics or a single aspect about instruction and 2 global/overall, which address value of course and teaching ability) on the end-of-course evaluation form. Eight of the 36 items request demographic information from the student. The findings showed that of the three faculty racial groups. African American faculty mean scores were the lowest on the 26 multidimensional items. On the two global items, which are used in making personnel decisions. African American faculty mean scores were also the lowest of the faculty groups analyzed. 3. The writer should change the statistics in the new study. 4. For the writer as a description of HBCUs: Historically Black College/University (HBCU) institution- Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are institutions of higher education in the United States that were established before 1964 with the intention of primarily serving the African American community. They have always allowed admission to students of all races. There are 107 HBCUs in the United States, including public and private institutions, community and four-year institutions, medical and law schools. Most were created in the aftermath of the American Civil War and are in the former slave states, although a few notable exceptions exist.
