Abstract

This study aimed to highlight the pros and cons of the evaluation of faculty members by students using a review method. The purpose of judging faculty members academic performance is to improve their competence and instructional activities. Awareness from students' expectations, establishing direct communication between students and faculty members, providing immediate feedback to faculty members, easy implementation and involving students as the main customers of lessons in evaluation are the pros of this evaluation method. Lack of sufficient ability of students to judge, dishonesty, carelessness, interference of personal goals of students and impact of other factors on evaluation are found to be the cons of this method. If the limitations of this method are not identified and managed by authorities of the university, it may   reduce the motivation of faculty members and in most cases, it will be used as a pressure tool by the students to achieve their inappropriate and illogical demands.
