I asked this before but didn't get an answer, so as it is this time of year I ask again: We all know the many published criticisms of student evaluations, and yet we have to go through this rigmarole again and again. So: does anyone know of good published defenses of student evaluations?

Within days, Claudius had given away nearly all its inventory for free—including a PlayStation 5 it had been talked into buying for “marketing purposes.” It ordered a live fish. It offered to buy stun guns, pepper spray, cigarettes and underwear. Profits collapsed. Newsroom morale soared.
