评估班级和教师特征对学生表现的作用需要对测量进行一些讨论。我们开始讨论了不同的教师特征，如性别，国籍，质量和经验。接下来，我们强调课程政策的重要性，包括分级的问题集和强制出席。最后，我们讨论了可能影响绩效和经济学研究的课堂环境的其他因素。这些因素包括班级规模，座位位置和班级的数学严谨性。我们写这一章时，心里有两个读者：希望通过寻求他们可以影响的变化来改善学生学习的教师，以及控制教师无法操纵的一些剩余因素的管理人员。
Evaluating the role of class and instructor characteristics on student performance necessitates some discussion of measurement. We begin with a discussion of various instructor characteristics such as gender, nationality, quality and experience. Next, we highlight the importance of course policies including graded problem sets and mandatory attendance. Finally, we discuss other elements of the class environment that may influence performance and the study of economics. These elements include class size, seating location, and the mathematical rigor of the class. We write this chapter with two audiences in mind: faculty who wish to improve their students’ learning by seeking changes they can influence, and administrators controlling some of the remaining factors that faculty cannot manipulate.
