Hey question...because the new evaluations are done online, can instructors and teachers view who completed them and who did not? Just always wondered that...the online aspect sort of removes the anonymity of it

The course evaluations are all anonymous. Therefore they cannot see who did the evaluations and who did not. They just assume that their students did it...

I remember reading a disclaimer for the course evals that said that the profs get the feedback from the reviews but the reviewer's identity remains completely anonymous.
But that being said, it's still possible to track who sent it soooo

The profs have no access to that data - it is all compiled together in a report, just like it was when it was done on paper and staff members created the reports so that profs couldn't recognize student handwriting.

Also, they supposedly don't even get the report until after grades are submitted...that way if the class gives bad reviews the prof can't retaliate by lowering the class avg or something.
