Note *: The evaluation process changed from paper based to computer based in fall 2010.

This is also the cut off time for my last P&T review.

Note **: The evaluation of EE344 (Fall 2008) is considered unofficial because many of

the sheets missed the instructor number. The sheets were located later and the scores

were manually calculated by the department chair.

Note***: The course was change to distance course at the beginning of the semester to

accommodate two distance students registered as EE300. This was my first time teaching

distance class and the Blackboard software for lecture recording (Tegrity) had significant

technical difficulty. The on-campus students were the only ones giving the evaluation and

they did not like the arrangement very much. At the end of the semester, the campus had

decided to abandon the Blackboard software.
