Hey, fellow profs! I am sure I'm not the only one who's noticed the response rates for teaching evaluations has plummeted in the past 5 years. At first I thought it was specific to where I worked (the U of Utah) but I've now seen it at two other universities.
My question is: what gives? Is there a general move away from using evaluations?
(If so, I'm not arguing -- I don't think they're very good tools. And yet, they are still used in promotion and tenure...)
