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.
