Since 1997 students’ course evaluation questionnaire (SCEQ) has been conducted in Business Administration Department of Marmara University to evaluate teaching effectiveness of instructors. In this study data obtained from 2000-2001 and 2001-2002 questionnaires are used to conduct discriminant and logistic regression analysis. As a result of these analyses evaluation criteria of academicians’ teaching performance are developed Findings of both the discriminant and logistic regression methods show similar results. In both methods “satisfaction with the way course is conducted” is the most powerful item that discriminates effective instructors from ineffective instructors. This item is followed by “instructors being competent in his/her field” and “exams being a good measuring device”.

In both methods “satisfaction with the way course is conducted” is the most powerful item that discriminates effective instructors from ineffective instructors.
