Instructor should instruct students to place each completed evaluation form into designated envelope, asking the last student to seal the envelope. 
         3. If an instructor’s immediate supervisor receives a complaint from a student in a current course, the Course-in-Progress Evaluation will be administered by the immediate supervisor to the class. Results of the evaluation will be discussed with the instructor.

         1. All Continuing Education Courses will be evaluated.
         2. End-of Course Evaluation forms will be completed during the last class meeting of the course. Instructor should instruct students to place each completed evaluation form into designated envelope, asking the last student to seal the envelope.
