Does your school have you evaluate courses? Do they actually change anything if you do?

Most of the questions on our course evals are engineered so you can't actually give any productive feedback on the class. For example, questions like "Was the amount of content appropriate for the time allotted in class?" Unless the lecturer went way over, who is gonna disagree with that?

Agreed. The worse the course is, the more carefully worded the questions to avoid getting real feedback. The courses that are better structured and more confident, are more receptive to the students input.
