Course and Instructor Evaluations
cs510 Programming in Java

This page presents the department mandated student evaluations of various courses/sections of CS510 Programming in Java that I taught. All the following data was collected after the last major overhaul of the course. This is all the information that was made available to me at the time I prepared this page. In some cases, different sections of the same course were tabulated separately and so are presented here.

The tabular entries for the columns labeled 1, ..., 5 count the number of responses for the corresponding marginal entries, where, on the evaluation form, 1 is defined as "Very Much (High)" and 5 is defined as "Very Little (Low)".
