Any evaluation should have a response in each question: "None of the above."
That's the one I would almost always check. I quit participating in anyone's
evaluation years ago. Either the evaluations I was exposed to were skewed to
give the evaluators what they wanted to hear, or they never gave me the
chance to chose a response that was anywhere near what I really felt. The
desire to quantify all human experience is leading us far astray from valid
information. If you really want to know what I feel about something, ask me
"essay questions" instead of "multiple [lack of] choice" questions, or even
interview me. That's the only way you would get anything really useful as a
response. But of course, you'd call it (shudder) "anecdotal", then.
