...only benefit teaching. Similar systems already exist at many of Harvard’s professional schools, and FAS should follow suit.The third key recommendation is that course evaluations be mandatory for all courses over a certain minimum size. This page has consistently lambasted faculty who believe that getting feedback from students is below them because they are “more wise.” Regular evaluations should form the cornerstone of improved teaching. But diagnosing a problem is quite different from curing one. The implementation of most of the Task Force’s recommendations will inevitably depend...

...require that professors have students evaluate courses partway through the term. Additionally, professors and other faculty should observe and assess their peers’ teaching. Any professor who fares poorly on these evaluations should be required to take remedial courses at the Center. If they continue to receive poor feedback on their teaching, they would continue to visit the Center until they shape up or ship out (well, maybe not “shipped out,” since tenure does not permit that, but possibly placed into a teaching purgatory...
Professors who receive particularly positive feedback should be rewarded in ways they would find meaningful. Trial and error would compile a list of ways to honor well-liked and effective professors, though a few ideas already come to mind. Titular accolades, such as the existing Harvard College Professorship, could serve as compelling incentive. (In this arena, Harvard might be wise to follow Yale, which presents six faculty members in six fields with teaching awards and several minutes of public praise on Class Day.) Good teachers could choose to instruct younger or less effective teachers in methods they themselves have found...
