The course evaluation questionnaire is Memorial Universities standardized course evaluation questionnaire. I include the CEQ for all of my course where they are available. Some courses had too few responses and results were not made available (see Appendix). In Winter 2020, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, CEQs were put on hold. As a result, I do not submit CEQs past winter 2020.

Additionally, I have conducted my own course evaluations for HKR 3400, HKR 6134, HKR 4600, and HKR 6130. The data are from 13 students in HKR 3400 (out of a possible 62 students), 20 students in HKR 6134 (out of a possible 35), 8 students in HKR 4600 (out of a possible 22), and 4 students in HKR 6130 (out of a possible 12).
