Feedback for evaluation:

 

Students are welcome to express their comments and suggestions via the following formal and informal feedback channels:

 

- Two course evaluations. First one to be conducted in the middle of the term and the second one at the end of the term. Students are encouraged to provide specific comments and/or suggestions in addition to the numeric ratings.

 

- Students are also encouraged to provide feedbacks using informal channels, such as email, course newsgroup, or simply discussing with the tutors or the instructor directly.
