Hypothetically, if faculty members developed an unmonitored website
and allowed instructors to anonymously evaluate students (suspected
of cheating on exams, buying term papers, or having an aunt that dies several
times a semester) - would it pass as an "instructor's resource"?
No!! The "Campus Enquirer" version of course/instructor evals isn't
a true resource for students either. Posting evaluations
of instructors in such a "free for all" fashion has tremendous potential
to harm instructors more than help students. I agree with Linda's
excellent comments.
My venting is over now....
