a.k.a. Grading Professors So WE Get Better Feedback

Students grade professors through course evaluation forms. Maybe we can use these forms to get better feedback from our professors. (The irony that the feedback we give them is already way more instructive than the feedback we receive is not lost on me.) Anyway, through the evaluation forms we give feedback on many different aspects of the professor's performance, but we don't give feedback on how good their feedback to us is. Maybe if we successfully lobby for a "rate your professor's feedback" box on the evaluation forms, we can begin to establish feedback as an important part of a professor's job.

 @Rory- I seem to have misunderstood the extent to which you were criticizing the suggestion. There does not seem to be much disagreement between us.

Since there appears to be agreement that evaluations may not be earth shattering but will be easy to institute, I suggest that we turn this topic into a discussion about more radical ways in which we can change these policies. I recommend we hold a sit in at the faculty lounge. Feel free to brainstorm.

PS: I'm serious, and considering Mr. Skaggs's comments, I expect you to be with me Rory wink

I think we also need to refine our goals to something specific an reasonably attainable. I suggest individual feedback on exams and/or 1 hour midterms that are not graded but are given feedback. Thoughts?
