Instructor and Course Evaluation

Math 140 W1 - Fall 2002

I think I have all the bugs worked out of this form, but I might be wrong.

If your browser freezes up, or you get some sort of error message on a plain gray background, something is wrong with the script. Let me know about that, so I can fix it.

If you prefer, you can use a paper form instead of this online form. Please contact me and I'll arrange it.


Give a rating in response to each of the first thirteen areas described below. As far as possible, your rating should represent your opinion on how the instructor, course, etc. compare with all other instructors of courses that you have had at Iowa State University.

A couple of the questions have been rephrased to adapt them to a web-based course, but this evaluation form is mostly identical to the one handed out in other Math courses.
