• ICES forms...
  I would be grateful if you would visit Cindy Hubert (233 Loomis), collect an ICES evaluation form from her, complete it, and return it to her. The feedback you give can be enormously valuable in helping me improve the course and, more generally, my teaching. I shall read it very carefully.
