I really like filling them out and letting the admin and profs know how I feel about their classes and how they conduct them. Our admin really takes to heart what the students say, so we can expect improvement by the time the next school year rolls around. Thanks for the nice article!

Something you may consider is going to the administrators to discuss your professors. Just because you don't get an evaluation form doesn't mean they shouldn't be evaluated. But the most important thing is that the evaluation is constructive. I see many people give complains when the complaint is not the fault of the professor, but rather that of the student. If you do go to an administrator, prepare your argument in advance. That way your criticism is taken seriously. But you should always attempt to speak to the professor first before running off to their superiors. @Minda

I've marked teachers whose methods were flawed as they deserved and I've marked teachers whose methods were excellent as they deserved. One thing that bothers me though is teachers who are horrible and then at the end of the semester you don't get to evaluate them. That bothers me cause it seems the teachers are slacking in the classes they know will not evaluate them and keeping on their toes in the classes that will evaluate them. Alas the game of Evaluation.
