Undoubtedly the students responses can be affected by the method of distributing and explaining the questionnaires, but isn't saying that the effect is as drastic as all that suggesting that students, in general, have the reflective capability of cement? Really, when I fill out one of the instructor evaluation forms I THINK about what I've experienced throughout the semseter. I also make a sincere effort not to weigh the grade I received in the class into my answers. It would be arrogant for me to claim that I'm 100% successful in these regards, but in all honesty I think I give reasonably level headed and objective answers to the questions. I, and I optimistically assume most students, try to consider *overall* behavior - after all, anyone, both student and instructor alike, can have a bad day; it would be grossly unfair and short- sighted to allow the professor's behavior while handing out the form to affect his or her ratings. Consider the possibility that students can think beyond the moment. -Mitch's $.02
