1. Beginning Monday, Nov. 23, this class will begin a web-administered
   course evaluation.  We will no longer be using the "pink bubble
   sheets" you may have seen in the past.

2. As with the paper evaluations, your participation is completely
   voluntary, but essential to providing your perspective of this
   course and its instruction.  3.  Students can get to the web
   evaluation by logging into MyUAlbany, and clicking the Evaluate
   Courses link under the Special Announcements area of the Academic
   portal page.  

   This will then take you to an evaluation page for this course,
     which is run by Digital Measures, a company providing a secure
     web service under University contract.

4. You will also receive e-mail reminders in your UAlbany e-mail
   account from "UAlbany Course Evaluation/Digital Measures" with
   subject line "UAlbany Course Evaluation Invitation."  The e-mail
   will contain a link that puts you into MyUAlbany and the Academics
   page where you can click the Evaluate Courses link.

5. The evaluation survey will close at the end of Reading Day,
   Tuesday, December 8, but please do it as soon as you receive the
   survey announcement.

6. These evaluations are administered by the UAlbany Office of
   Institutional Research, Planning, and Effectiveness.  Your
   responses will be reported only as part of a pooled data set that
   the department chair and I will review after grades are posted.

7. Neither the survey administrator nor I will be able to know how you
   responded as an individual - But I will be able to monitor the
   overall class response rate between now and December 8, Reading
   Day.
