Online Teacher/Course/Text Evaluation

It's important for instructors to get feedback from students about this course. Use this online form to tell us—as honestly and completely as possible—what does and doesn't work for you in here. When you've completed the form, hit the "Submit" button at the bottom.

This form should take no more than 10 minutes or so to fill out. Your feedback (unless you include your name) will be more-or-less anonymous; in any event, your responses will have no effect whatsoever on your grade in the class, so go ahead—be honest. Please submit only one evaluation per student.
