In reference to the story on chocolate and evaluations, my freshman biology prof was guilty of this. At our last meeting of the semester he bought a bunch of pizzas for us, and everyone was munching away while they filled out the evaluation forms.
He was a terrible teacher (I cringe at even calling him that, he was the least effective educator I've ever had to deal with): bad attitude, bad organization, offensive remarks, etc, so I don't know how much the treat actually boosted his evals, but I did hear some people say they would have felt guilty giving him a really bad report after he blew a bunch of money on food for us.
I don't eat pizza, and he didn't get any mercy from me, and I did mention the pizza in the comments section of the form.
