Allied health student and faculty attitudes regarding faculty evaluation.

Faculty and students of undergraduate programs in medical technology, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and social work were surveyed to determine the perceived importance of faculty participation in 24 teaching, professional service, and scholarly and administrative activities. Results indicate that both groups view teaching activities as most important, faculty tended to assign more importance to scholarly and administrative activities than did students, and students tended to assign more importance to professional service than did faculty. An overall tendency toward similarity was found.
