Jim raises an interesting point regarding faculty evaluations. I served on a teaching evaluation committee that recommended that written comments (as opposed to 5-point scaled replies) be returned to the faculty member for feedback, but not go to chairs, deans, etc., precisely because the responses are polarized and not representative of class sentiments. And, although our provost was very supportive in implementing other committee recommendations, he disagreed with this point. If anyone is interested, our recommendations are available at:

My guess it is probably polarized -- those who loved your class or despised it might be most likely to register an opinion.
