Abstract
Colleagues can make a unique and important contribution to the evaluation of faculty performance. The evidence from this study, however, indicates that colleague ratings of teaching effectiveness based primarily on classroom observation would in most instances not be reliable enough to use in making decisions on tenure and promotion-at least not without faculty members investing much more time in visitations or training sessions. Nevertheless, there are several aspects of teaching that colleagues would seem to be able to judge. These are discussed in this paper, along with other methods of assessing teaching.
