suggest students should not be overused as a source of evaluation data.
Overuse can contribute to diminished interest and can result in brief or ill-considered feedback. Second, where possible, create opportunities for obtaining feedback early on the subject , so that there is an opportunity to address challenging or controversial issues during the cause, rather than focusing on only addressing improvements in subsequent years. Third, be prepared to respond to feedback and inform students what you will and will not be doing on the basis of it, and why. students are more likely to provide thoughtful feedback if they believe their input will make difference . Responding to students in this way demonstrates that their contributions are appreciated and are used to influence the delivery of the subject in the future. It therefore follows logically that if their is no intention to make change in a specific area, students should not be asked questions related do it. Finally, anonymity must be guaranteed. Students need to know that their expressed views and opinions cannot be traced back to them if they are to provide open honest feedback.
