Each semester, after I get my teaching evaluations back, I read all of the comments and type up a summary of those comments for each course in a single Word document. I don't type them out verbatim, but I try to get the main idea from the comments and I try to leave out personal comments such as "Arup rocks!" or "Arup sucks." If something is just plain funny, I might have put it in there for kicks. Also, if a comment is very repetitive (20 people say the same thing), I might just write it down the first five or six times and then stop writing it. After I write down the students' comments, I reread them and then make some personal notes for myself with respect to things I can do in future classes and my perception of the class based on the students' comments. This writing in bold is mostly my opinion while the non-bold writing is almost directly the students thoughts. (I paraphrase and clean up spelling, but the ideas are really the students' ideas, not mine.) I have arranged these documents in chronological order by semester, with one document for each semester. The classes within each document are in no particular order. Here are the students' comments:
