http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/taeval/survey.cfm

To make the process easier, make sure you have your TA's name (first and last) and the course department and number at hand.

Once you have completed the survey, watch to see if you receive a special code upon submission that identifies you as a prizewinner.

Your anonymous evaluation and feedback goes to your TA and is used by the Engineering TA Development Program to improve the quality of teaching in the College. Good luck, and thanks for your input.
