Evaluating Your Class
blue dividing line

Sometimes you might run into major frustrations -- the instructions for an assignment are unclear, or one of the links won't work. Or you might have a brilliant idea of how to improve an assignment that you'd like to share with your instructor or the Distance Ed department at Gavilan. This is your opportunity.

If you have time, we would appreciate your answers to some specific questions, also.
