At the end of the semester, I hope to use the feedback to improve the course for next semester, helping me to think about what I should change and what I should keep (more or less) the same.
I like the idea of doing your own end-of-course survey in addition to the official school one, but how do you verify that they have done both surveys to get points for the assignment (as mentioned on the Google Form) while still maintaining the anonymity? Do they email you screenshots?
Yes - the institutional surveys have the option to "email your professor" at the end, so I ask students to do that, and for my own I simply ask for a screen shot. I'm very generous, though, and if a students tells me they did the evaluations, I give them credit.
