I am going to distill these research findings into a set of concrete recommendations that are guaranteed to ensure that you, a tenure-track faculty member, can finally get strong student evaluations: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0233515
(1) Be physically attractive.
(2) Be male.
(3) Be white.
(4) Preferably be white and male at the same time.
(5) Do not have an accent.
(6) Be young.
(7) Only teach electives, not required classes.
(8) Don't teach large courses.

Note that some of the findings are really messy (including some I didn't include here) and I'm kind of skeptical of the method used to label race (last names) but this basically tracks to previous research on these kinds of biases.
