| Jun 2, 2015 at 8:35 | comment | added | henning no longer feeds AI | I like all of the recommendations below. However, I think negative feedback does not have to be perfect in order to be valid and legitimate. At the end of the day, the lecturer has to improve their lecture, not the student. (Hence, I do not fully agree with @JukkaSuomela.) Also from the side of the person giving the lecture, I would rather have a not-so-constructive (but respectful and honest) feedback than no feedback at all. | |

Although where I did my Master degree, the university had an online system for anonymous feedback after every course. They even used this to award prizes and such. | |

| Sep 24, 2014 at 15:10 | comment | added | penelope | @AruRay While I agree with everything you said, it could always happen (even if not the case here, it's not a big stretch in generalization) that the student simply wants to give feedback, because he genuinely wants to improve the course, and is looking for a best way to give suggestions more (in volume or importance) than a suggested (anonymous) form. | |
| Sep 24, 2014 at 15:05 | comment | added | Aru Ray | When you say a teacher asked for feedback did they suggest a particular format, for example verbal in-person feedback, email, anonymous in-class feedback forms, anonymous online form, etc.? (The few times that I have taught a class I gave anonymous midterm feedback forms to the students. A professor of mine from college created an anonymous online feedback form for every class. It seems strange to me that a faculty member would ask for non-anonymous feedback during the semester.) | |
