Feedback

TRACE

Our college requires all students to complete TRACE evaluations at the end of the semester.
Beyond that, I appreciate your feedback and specific recommendations (e.g., “reading X was useful because …; reading Y was not because of …”)
So please do give feedback and don’t succumb to “checkbox fatigue” :)

Final tip

“Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.” – A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

I imagine many of my tips, like "asking for letters of reference" or "how to read", might be hit or miss. But perhaps the most important one was on gratitude.
I am grateful for your participation, your effort, helpfulness, and patience.
