This case study examined the differences in ratings on faculty evaluations between part-time faculty and full-time faculty in a graduate education program at a private college in New Jersey. Both part-time and full-time faculty were evaluated by students on several different variables, including clarity of learning objectives, relating activities to course objectives, clarity of grading criteria, preparation level of the instructor, instructor's tolerance for diverse points of view, whether the course is challenging enough, availability of the instructor outside of class, whether the instructor generally cares about students, appropriate choice of readings, grading and returning work in a timely, constructive manner, whether grades reflect a fair evaluation by the instructor, effective use of e-mail, effective use of films/videos/DVDs, effective use of slides, PowerPoint, transparencies and/or overheads, effective use of Blackboard.
