In light of the research on gender and student evaluations of professors, what might you reasonably conclude when seeing an online rating for a female professor that describes her in negative terms such as “disorganized”?
A) The professor is likely to be disorganized and an inadequate teacher because student evaluations tend not to be biased in ways related to gender. B) The professor is likely a better teacher than reviews reflect, because being organized is not an important quality in a professor in the eyes of students. C) The professor is probably worse than she is being described, as research shows that student evaluations unfairly favor female professors because femininity is associated with teaching. D) The professor is likely being unfairly evaluated, since student evaluations tend to be disproportionately skewed against women and terms like “disorganized” are disproportionately used to describe them.
