End-of-semester surveys

Q1: Why are end of semester surveys due days before the class ends and grades are due? In my experience, often the last few days of class as well as final grade outcomes are crucial and include important information that should be provided on the survey but the deadline has already passed.

Q2: I have done all my student course evaluations every semester I've been going to UAF. I have made suggestions, criticized academic quality, and asked for more accommodations to different learning styles and I know other students have done this as well. Yet, every year I hear that the same faculty do the same things with little to no deviation to policies and course methods that seem ineffective or unnecessary to the students that are trying to learn. What's the point of doing this if nothing is going to change?
