Abstrakt: This study of 616 students at a mid-south university evaluated the impact of instructional style and gender role attitudes on students' evaluations of professors. Factor analysis of the evaluation instrument revealed three factors—interaction, value, and teaching ability. Further analysis revealed differences in factors based on professors' instructional styles, suggesting a potential source of bias in the evaluation of professors. Students rated tough professors more harshly than they rated lenient professors on the interaction factor, but not on the value or teaching ability factors. Students' gender role attitudes did not significantly affect student evaluation of professors, male or female. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
