As indicated throughout this section, using multiple evaluation elements is the best way to decide on challenges in our courses, however I find that student evals are minimal in many cases. With a 20-30% (or lower) student eval rate it is hard to make course modifications as there is such a small percentage responding.

If I see the same insights over several terms, changes may be made, however it is unfortunate that the students that do take the time to do their evals are in very diverse groups [that I have seen], they are the students who completely enjoyed being in the course or those that did not. Either way, few "middle-roaders" get involved so it is hard to base changes on this in a term by term basis.

Has anyone discovered a sure fire way of getting students to fill out their evals?
