Anonymous weekly evaluations. Comments?
All aspects of the evalutions are great and they do save class time in asking questions and clearing up issues. The anonymity is also good becuase then students are not nervous to ask something or say what is bothering them. Having done non-anonymous for 7 years, this was a test case with anonymous. For me, I prefer the non-anonymous to get to know the student better but as the comments below indicate, anonymity may be better for the students and so I will keep doing that.
   
All the evaluations were fine and I like the online resources and using the internet as the medium of course interaction.  
I didn't mind it at all, liked that it was online.  
I liked them, but please repsond to them more so that we actually get something out of them. My bad, I did read them and responded both online and in class but you may not have felt like I did.
I really like the fact that they are anonomous. I know I was a lot more honest than I would have otherwise been. Posting the answers online was definitely a good idea; I wish it could have started earlier. It is hard to ask questions you have on the evaluations in class because they are supposed to be anonomous, and I found the online answers a good way to avoid revealing your identity.  
Good idea to get feedback anonymously

Fine.  
Anonymity not key, but it never hurts. Otherwise I liked the idea. However, they were annoying when I didn't really have anything to say. That is a problem with weekly evaluations. I have no answer to that problem of nothing to say.
Good, made you think more about the week. Even though some times my evalulations never showed up...
