Do you feel like it gets at what you'd like to know? -- Sue Frantz Highline Community College Psychology Des Moines, WA 206.878.3710 x3404 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://flightline.highline.ctc.edu/sfrantz/ > -----Original Message----- > From: McKinley, Marcia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 10:22 AM > To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences > Subject: RE: Course evaluations: 2nd try > > > I'm sorry for the delay, Sue.
