Somehow I stumbled upon this page at Stetson’s law school that purports to permit students to anonymize emails that they want to send to their professors. It appears that the tool is used by a few professors who want to encourage feedback that would be more open and honest than they would otherwise receive. Prawfs, have you used these before? Do they work? Students, what’s your sense?
The prevailing norm in law schools is to do an end of the semester evaluation of the prof, which the prof gets to see later. Some schools circulate the results for future students to see. Some schools only let the professors see the evaluations. When I used to teach, I would try to have at least one mid-term evaluation of teaching to see what is effective and what is not. I suspect I will do that again, perhaps after every third of the semester. I’m interested in putting together a “best practices” on student-faculty feedback. Comments are open. Let me know what works there or via email.
