It is NOT AN EVALUATION OF THE INSTRUCTOR.  If you have comments in that regard, they should be directed to the division associate deans and/or through standard evaluation forms. Thank you so much for your participation in North Seattle Community College’s Distance Learning program."

For the multiple choice questions, the numbers correspond to: 
5 = strongly agree /4 = agree /3 = neutral /2 = disagree /1 = strongly disagree
