At the end of every semester, GW students are given the opportunity to do complete course evaluations of our classes and our professors. Certain professors prefer to have paper evaluations where we get to fill them out in class, with the professor out of the room. Other professors like to minimize the paperwork and opt for students to complete online evaluations. According to GW, "The purposes of these course evaluations are to: provide feedback to your instructor and the department chair about the quality of the course; to inform other students about courses to assist them in their course selection; and to help you and GW assess what you learned in the course."
The evaluations are confidential and the professors only see an aggregate of the comments and our comments would not affect our grades. One aspect of the evalutions that have confused me is the part where the evaluations are used to help other students in their course selection. I don't quite know where other students can see these online results because I have searched for them previously and could not find them online. It would be wonderful if these evaluations were available to students somewhere easily accessible.
