The majority of college students participate in a professor evaluation at the end of every semester. The evaluation normally consist of Likert scale questions and then one section at the end for additional comments. These evaluations end up in a folder and nothing is ever said about them again to the students. The professors or administrators say the evaluations are actual read and the student opinion matters, but does it really? Is one evaluation at the end of a semester enough? Reflect back onto those times when you took your class evaluations. Do you feel like that evaluation said everything you wanted it to say? Were those questions the questions you wanted answered? Do you feel like your opinion mattered and made an impact on the course for future students?
