Researchers have found that there is a strong correlation between overall positive course ratings of results in students evaluations of teaching (SET) at higher education and grades received. This study focuses on other educational factors that influence students’ decisions to evaluate teaching such as calling on students and administering pop up quizzes. Multivariate statistical analysis is used to group students into clusters based on the closeness of their decision to rate the instructor according to the selected factors. This research is conducted in a developed country and the results may differ if the same approach is used elsewhere.
