Course Evals | The College of Engineering requires that course
evaluations be done online. To complete the evaluation, visit the link below
between 5/1 and 5/7. Students completing CourseEvals will be automatically
entered to win one of five iPod Shuffles. Every completed CourseEval
counts as one entry. A random winner will be chosen each day from Weds May 3
through Sun May 7. The optimal strategy to win an iPod is to have all your
CourseEvals completed by noon Weds May 3.
Please note that completing the evaluations is an
assignment, and will be counted as part of your grade for the course. |
