So, UC Santa Cruz has gone be through an evolution on this. They used to be good little hippies and had no grades whatsoever. Then students got angry that grad schools and law schools wouldn't accept them because they didn't want to read 80 pages detailing the student. So they had both grades and evals for a while. They now just have grades. But, it sure was nice to get the evals too. Sure, most professors just put in your midterm grades and that was about it. And sure, most post secondary education isn't going to ever read past that first page that was GPA. But some professors did write an honest eval, and some med schools did read the 80 or so pages of evals.
And it was rough, yeah, but really nice too. You're getting real feedback sometimes for the student and the admissions office.
I really liked it and wished more professors would have bothered to, you know, give a shit about the students. And the admins offices that got the 80 page transcript and read it, well that made me want to actually go to those schools.
Eval transcripts are hard, so I doubt they'll ever come back. But I really treasure mine
