Different teaching styles
All instructors have different styles and there is always feedback. I think somebody must adjust the teaching style (sometimes that is hard) to what the feedback is showing.
If after 2 or 3 terms/semesters you always get low feedback grades then it might be time to adjust. On the other hand if you get good reviews then you must be doing something correct but we have to remember that there is always time to improve
I agree that you have to listen to your students and adjust your teaching style to your class. Also you can't wait for reviews to make adjustments.
Rebecca,
Yes, they are a great way to give you feedback for course improvement and redirection should it be needed. Helps you keep your finger on the pulse of your class.

Evaluate the students learning abilities and attempt to to work with the student at their level. Everyone learns at a different rate. Be patient and assist as needed.
I am a new instructor and am always looking at ways to improve teaching styles. Surveys at the end of course instruction offers me feedback from the student themselves. I can use this information to improve upon my skills.
