How does everyone feel about online evaluations? Do you think it makes class run more smoothly? Do you think it helps out get more balanced opinions?

I am in favor of online evaluations To me, it always seemed like only people who liked the class had access to in-class evaluations, since they were not announced, given out on a random day, and collected that day. Anyone who has taken a statistics course recognizes this as a selection bias -- they are biasing the results towards people who like the class, as that is who is in class. With online evaluations, anyone who is getting a grade in the class can complete evaluations.
