I go to a university that uses qualtrics for course evals that I have to fill out for every class (questions are always identical with 2 free response at the end). For the first few a wrote in-depth responses to what did you enjoy and/or what did you not like about this class. Then, I realized many professors don't look at evals and wondered if there was a better place to leave feedback? I am talking about specific feedback that's centered around the course not the professor.
For example, on a recent one I mentioned things like
-assignments are too easy to complete and get a good grade relying 100% on ai, it's obvious in group work for xyz reasons, and heres some ideas on how I think it could be improved.
-Friday mid-day due dates are worse then midnight the night before (obv personal opinion I wanted to share)
-things that made a project more difficult and what I think students could benefit from in the future (to be more specific I said one of the hardest parts of the project was navigating the file sharing of PowerBI and not the actual project requirements being graded, mentioned instruction on Microsoft Workspace could be helpful for students to get started.)
Anyway, I think you get the point. Do professors want this type of feedback? If so, how would you like to receive it? I would just go to office hours but I often have a list of things that are hard to remember off the top of my head, and typically don't think of stuff till finals week when office hours are either finished or meant for exam questions.
Edit: not liking the deadline was just a small note I wanted to leave but it makes sense why professors wouldn’t want to hear it and probably a bad example of my point. The feedback I really cared to give was mostly about cheating with AI and how I see it rub off in ways the professor likely wouldn’t.
