Abstrakt: The place of student and peer evaluations has been debated for considerable time. At a California community college an option existed for faculty to use a combination of evaluative techniques, one of which was evaluation by both peers and students. The subject of this investigation was to determine the relationships between these two options, among other factors. It was found that a high degree of consensus did exist, although peers tended to rate other faculty higher than did students. Those being evaluated had a higher degree of confidence in student ratings over peer ratings, although student ratings caused the greatest apprehension. Faculty being evaluated also indicated that changing their teaching practices and procedures was more the result of student evaluation than peer evaluation.
