  Results: The total mean score of professors' evaluation score by students and graduates, had no significant difference (p= 0 .45) and the correlation between them was positive and significant. Correlation coefficient between the evaluation scores of male and female professors by students and graduates were respectively r=0.581 and r=0.611 which was statistically significant (p=0.016).
