Online evaluations could hold grades captive if not filled out - Christiana Cobb, San Jose State Spartan

Students who neglect to complete or "opt out" of the Student Opinion Teaching Effectiveness teacher evaluations will have their grades withheld for two weeks. An email sent to students informed of changes to the Student Opinion Teaching Effectiveness, teacher evaluation policy, moving the paper evaluations filled out in class at the end of the semester, to an online version for students to fill out on their own time. Elizabeth Guzman, a senior behavioral science major, said she thinks the online teacher evaluations will be easier than the paper forms, but she thinks it is the professor's responsibility to encourage students to fill out the form. http://spartandaily.com/103129/online-evaluations-could-hold-grades-captive-if-not-filled-out
