Student feedback gives teachers insight of the lesson. It allows teachers to understand what is beneficial and what possibly is not.

Course evaluations can help teachers if students would prefer a number score. Anonomyous feedback about a class discussions and cost benefit analysis can better lessons and how a teacher teaches

Temperature reading allow teachers to know what is working and possibly peer feed back in groups. Some students want to be hard and it allows a teacher to understand area that esson ma need to improve or ways to facillitate a lesson.

At what age/grade level would it be beneficial to have the students fill out a course evaluation? I'm not sure younger grades would be able to comprehend the importance or value of the evaluation. I think it's great how much input Wessling accepts from her students.
