Speaker 1 Summary
Oscar says that student evaluations are the best assessment of teacher performance. This is supported by the implied premise that students are in the best position to judge a teacher.
Speaker 2 Summary
Bettina says that peer evaluations may be a good supplement or a better alternative to assess teacher performance. Why? Because students generally fail to appreciate the impact of a teacher until years later, and student evaluations are conducted right at the end of a class.
