  • Forum Post on National Guard Self-Assessment Brochure
  • Forum Post on Denver Schools Self-Assessment Statement 
  • Forum Post on USDA Self-Assessment Statements

Course Evaluation

Please fill out the Student Perceptions of Teaching (SPOT) survey for this course. I do not see the feedback until June (after grades are submitted), and your comments are anonymous.

The feedback helps the department make important decisions about teaching methods, course content, and faculty promotion. Written comments help me decide what to keep or change the next time I teach the course.
