While it is definitely dicey to ask for end of course reviews, there have only been a few vindictive kids that bothered to attack me personally. Those were balanced out by kids who offered insight and genuine suggestions to improve the class. Some I have used, others (like not grading until the end of the term) I did not. But at the university level, if she isn't competent enough to get at least half the students to give a valid review, then she's not effective and needs to be removed. And that would be true if she were a man, white and middle aged as well.
