When I was an undergraduate at Wesleyan in the mid-'80s, the "real"
evaluations were kept private, so students contributed a separate set of
evaluations to a twice-yearly student publication called _Squid's Eye
View_ ("squid" was Wesleyan slang for "someone who studies too much").  
Those evaluations were not published in full, but summarized and excerpted
in the manner of a Zagat guide.  From my point of view at the time, it was
a good system. I would still support it.
