12/13/01 Evaluations sent out

By now you should have received an email message containing my evaluation of you.

Please read your evaluation carefully, checking for typos (some students have already found some), but especially checking the content.

If you did not receive your evaluation, or would like to discuss the evaluation with me, contact me by email or telephone. You can email me at jackyj@evergreen.edu or at jon@u.washington.edu, or you can call me at 206-783-1612 (Thursday) or 206-598-4117 (Friday 9 - 5).

I haven't scheduled a phone call with everyone, but if you would like to talk on the phone to discuss your evaluation (or anything else) please email or call to set up a time.

I plan to submit all your evaluations to the program secretary late Friday afternoon. It would be best if you could reach me by then, but if that is impossible contact me when you can.

12/13/01 Program description

This program description goes in students' transcripts.

12/05/01 Evaluations

Turn in your self-evaluation to the program secretary, Sharon Wendt. You can drop them off at her office, L3225 (there's a box by the door if she's not in). Or you can mail them to Sharon Wendt, The Evergreen State College, Mail Stop L3220, 2700 Evergreen Parkway NW, Olympia WA 98505-0002. This self-evaluation goes in your transcript and must be on the official form. Your student evaluation of faculty also goes to Sharon. It is optional (it goes in my portfolio) and if you choose to do one it must also go on the official form.

I also recommend (but do not require) that you give me a draft, unofficial version of your self-evaluation to help me write my evaluation of you (which goes in your transcript). I prefer hardcopy but will accept email.
