This paper takes advantage of a uniquely compiled data set from National Tsing Hua University to empirically evaluate whether the results of student evaluation of teaching (SET) are affected by the reputation of instructors with controlling other factors. Our results show that there exists a significant impact between reputation/justice and student evaluation of teaching (SET). In particular, our empirical results suggest that if instructors are willing to gain better SET outcome, what they should do is to establish their reputation by giving students higher grades and treating students fairly. We also find that courses, instructors and students related characteristics are important in regard to SET.
