Student responses may vary wildly based on thelecture immediately prior to the survey, or if the most recent homework or exam was too difficult.While this can be somewhat mitigated (by allocating certain questions to those assignments) anynegative sentiment may bleed into the open-ended questions and lead to overall negative commen-tary.
