Myth 9: Whether students take the course as a requirement or as an elective affects their ratings.
Several investigators have found that students who are required to take a course tend to rate it lower than student who elect to take it (Cohen & Humphreys, 1960; Divoky & Rathermel, 1988; Gillmore & Brandenburh, 1974; Pohlmann, 1975). Instructors of elective courses were rated significantly higher than instructors of required courses (Gage, 1961; Lovell & Haner, 1955; Petchers & Chow, 1988; Scherr & Scherr, 1990). However, studies have found no significant differences between student rating (Heilman & Armentrout, 1936; Hildebrand, Wilson & Dienst, 1971).
