[quote=Anonymous]Prof here. In my discipline, I would say quality of instruction has improved at a lot of Top-50 schools. Tenure requirements used to almost ignore teaching, but in my experience it is now treated as a serious consideration. In addition, some tenured/tenure track faculty have been replaced by teaching professors-- academics will lament this because it reduces a school's research, but such faculty are hired/evaluated/promoted solely on teaching, so they also take it seriously. When I started my career, there was literally no training or consideration related to teaching when we taught PhD students, and now we essentially don't let them go on the academic job market until their teaching evaluations have hit a reasonable threshold. So I think teaching has become significantly stronger over time.[/quote]
