It also seems your approach allows for continuous anonymous feedback and not just for feedback at the end of the course. I think this is actually a fantastic way to do it! If students are frustrated, it's far better to address their concerns (or correct their misconceptions) as they arise and while they are still taking your class. | |

Most of what we do involve judging or being judged by people, and people are weird. Sometimes a nasty comment a student left you has less to do with you/your class and more with some personal situation. And the best thing you can do is just ignore it, if you draw attention to that, you risk worsening the students' mental state... | |
