Proper way to include student evaluations for job application? I've seen a handful of academic teaching jobs request that the applicant send "copies of student evaluations" as part of the application. 


How exactly is this supposed to be done?


Pick and choose your favorites / all the positive evaluations?
Send an entire class's evaluations for completeness?
Emphasize well written (possibly long) ...OR...pick  short and sweet but very positive?


Ex: "Best instructor I ever had!!!"

Include somewhat negative ones to demonstrate "realism"?

What's the proper format?


PDF or doc file with paragraphs of comments?
An addition to the cover letter?



Etc..

In general, what's the proper way to go about (or perhaps best practices for) including student evaluations in an application??



Note: "student evaluation" = "course evaluation" (i.e., comments students make about the course/instructor).
I've been involved in three searches over the last three years.  We typically only request teaching evaluations from candidates who've made our short list for phone/skype interviews since it generates an immense number of pages of material to review.  We want a .pdf of all of your teaching evaluations.  

If it becomes apparent that you've edited or selected evaluations the people reading them will have good reason to discount what you sent them.  The only way to avoid this is to include all of your evaluations for every course that you've taught (or for more experienced folks all evaluations from the past three years or some similar period.)   

You should take whatever was given to you by your institution, and convert it to .pdf format.  Don't transform it in any other way.
