[Englecturers] REMINDR: iEVAL Signups

[Teri Carter]

Dear Lecturers,

I have heard from a few instructors who have 
opted into iEVAL for Spring 2008 quarter.  If you 
would like to sign up for iEVAL, please follow 
the instructions and go to the site located 
below.  Please let me know if you have decided to "opt in".

Thank You.
