I've had both. I think student input is very important in the context of teaching that student or class. However I wonder if the input delivered is best suited to forming a curriculum and style.
Particularly I find being extremely critical either way is often counter to the goal. Sometimes one can get more from the act of discussion than the act of critique. Especially if it crosses into the confrontational. Once it becomes confrontational the opportunity for either participant to learn is lost in playing defense.
