Lisa, I like that you talk about the gap and closing the loop. We have to help our students see there is a gap and help them improve their learning through the process. Formative and summative evaluations can help students and instructors. Thak you.
Bryan, You are right as there are many variable. But providing evaluations in different ways provides you with various information. Nice job.
