2. Semester 2 Unit Evaluations
Just a reminder that Semester 2 Unit Evaluations are coming up soon and we would really appreciate your participation in the Unit Evaluation process for each of the Units in which you are enrolled.

We would really appreciate any constructive criticism about how we can make the Units even better, plus of course any positive feedback about why you thought your Units were really good!
