Mitch, et al.:

I've been watching this debate over evaluations since my last post which,
I had thought, would be enough to stop it.  However, since the debate will
continue, I offer the following suggestion:

Evaluations are helpful ONLY if they are anonymous and ONLY if they make
no difference in either the teacher's or the student's welfare.  The student
is able to express opinions and the teacher is able to get some "feedback"
which may be used to improve the class for future students.  Any use of them
for tenure, promotion, external or administrative decisions is useless.

The situations where these are published and otherwise used for any
gain or loss simply lead to misuse and statistical bias.

Charles
