Got this in my e-mail today.
Would you really want to encourage your students access to this anonymous complaint service? I'm not certain.


Dear Professor,

I am writing to inform you of a great new resource you may wish to utilize in your upcoming courses. It's a free, easy, and anonymous online service which acts as a private suggestion box that students can use to address their professors. It is particularly beneficial to the academic dynamic in that students may address their professors openly, directly, and privately, without fearing repercussions, complaining to higher authorities, or suffering in silence (or in all likelihood, futile noise).

Imagine, for example, a situation where students cannot hear you lecture, or where widespread cheating occurs for a particular assignment. In both cases, students will likely never speak up. www.autocomplain.com wishes to aid communication processes where power dynamics previously hindered them.

Auto-Complain is committed to facilitating a constructive communication process, even allowing a recipient to address the sender directly. Auto-Complain also maintains the strictest of privacy standards and will never sell or distribute user information.

If you feel you could benefit from opening the doors of communication with your students, tell them about Auto-Complain and include it on your syllabus.

Auto-Complain may be used for a variety of purposes, including work-related or customer-service-related issues as well. I hope you find this information helpful.
Thank you for your time.
