The end-of-semester evaluations, which are mandatory for all but the smallest seminar courses, are an important part of both teaching and learning here at the College, and it is essential that students fill them out. Therefore, we applaud the Registrar for implementing this new system and hope that it is an efficient and effective means of incentivizing the completion of these critical evaluations.
