Teaching

When I was an undergraduate student at Northwestern University, there was a booklet compiled by the student government, CTEC - Course and Teacher Evaluations. Everybody looked through it when deciding on courses and professors. Course Evaluations these days are mostly private, so students have to rely on friends and rumors in deciding what courses to take. I decided to make all my evaluations public to help future students make more informed choices, or at least know what they are getting into when they decide to take a course from me. It also is an interesting and fun historical record! Happy spelunking!
