Sinossi

Faculty Evaluation Methods explores the complex process of assessing law professors, examining the various methods used to gauge teaching quality and overall effectiveness. This book addresses a critical need in legal education: ensuring that faculty evaluations are comprehensive and genuinely contribute to academic rigor and faculty development. Interestingly, while student evaluations are common, their reliability and validity are often debated, highlighting the need for more holistic approaches that incorporate peer review and administrative reviews.

 
The book argues for a shift from purely quantitative metrics to a more qualitative approach, emphasizing the importance of diverse perspectives in evaluation. It meticulously analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of different evaluation tools, such as student feedback, peer observations, and self-assessments, while providing practical guidance for designing effective evaluation instruments. By drawing on empirical research and case studies, the book connects to fields like educational psychology and higher education administration to support arguments for improved evaluation practices.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with core principles and moving through the analysis of different evaluation methods, their role in promotion and tenure, and culminating in strategies for creating fair and transparent systems. This approach offers a unique and valuable perspective for law school deans, faculty, and administrators seeking to enhance teaching quality and foster a supportive environment for faculty growth through comprehensive academic management.

Nasty Politics - The Logic of...

Thomas Zeitzoff

A novel explanation for why politicians insult, accuse, and threaten their opponents, even though voters say they don't like it. 
 
 
 
Why do politicians engage in nasty politics? Why do they use insult, accusations, intimidation, and in rare cases violence against their domestic political opponents? In Nasty Politics, Thomas Zeitzoff answers these questions by examining this global political trend in the US, Ukraine, and Israel and looking at how key leaders such as Trump, Zelensky, and Netanyahu use it. Drawing on surveys, case studies, in-depth interviews, databases of nasty politics, and large social media datasets, Zeitzoff shows that across all three countries, the public generally doesn't like nasty politics and it increases the threat of political violence. But it can also be a way to signal toughness to voters, which is especially important in threatening times. Featuring a powerful theory of why nastiness takes hold in democratic polities, Nasty Politics highlights how it influences the kinds of politicians who run for office and deepens our understanding for why so many politicians now rely on outsized 
anger and withering insults for political gain.

'I accept and love you the way you are. You are unique, you are different, and you are you. I will not compare you with others, I will not constantly keep expecting and demanding what you might not be able to do or give.' 
As parents, we foist our dreams and aspirations on our children, push them to be more than we could ever be. But do we have the courage and honesty to look within and ask what drives our parenting - our own needs or those of our children?
