Times Higher Education__ "Attractive female academics ‘rated as better teachers"

Nothing new on the article published today (link above) because on November 13 of last year I already had mentioned some papers about this biased assessment: https://pacheco-torgal.blogspot.com/2019/11/paperyou-dont-look-like-lecturer-dress.html

Probably the students who answered the survey are still showing a baby-like behavior as was reported by the study of Bascandziev & Harris published on the British Journal of Developmental Psychology: "Children were more likely to endorse names provided by the person with the more attractive face"And if that is so then the teaching surveys of the "attractive female academics" must be downgraded to correct this unnatural advantage.‘
