Course Evaluation

_______________________________________________________________________________________

You must turn in a course evaluation with your final.

However, the course evaluation needs to be anonymous. Therefore, you have to arrange with another student in the class to exchange course evaluations so that you hand in your final with someone else's course evaluation.

Feel free to add more comments/feedback for any of the questions.
