Peer review has been proposed as a possibility for both formative andsummative assessment,12,13 in part because fellow faculty members are often able to evaluate aninstructor in ways that students are not able (for example, the instructor’s familiarity with thecourse material and whether the course is meeting its curricular goals). However, such evaluationprograms require a fair amount of planning and discussion amongst the faculty. One of thegreatest challenges is that all faculty do not hold identical views about what effective teaching is,leading to potential conflicts in assessment.Another alternative to SET is classroom observations by a so-called “expert,” frequently anadministrator or member of a Center for
