1992From when I first started teaching at Sophia, I have asked students on the last day of class to write an evaluation of the course. Depending on the course, this is either an essay or a standardized evaluation form. This gives the students an opportunity to communicate to me the strong and weak points of the course, so that I can improve it each year.
