[GSoC] Fwd: GSoC 2010: Mentor + Org Admin Evaluation Questions

[Robert Buels]

Hi all,

In case this got lost in your mailbox, here are the questions for the
final evaluations.

I'm going ahead and sending this to students also since they might be 
interested in some of the things they are evaluated on.

Hi everyone,
As promised, here are the questions for the final evaluations next
week. Final evaluations are due 20 August at 19:00 UTC.
Also, please note that there are two sets of questions here: the
mentor evaluation questions and question for the org admins. Mentor
evaluations, as always, are required for all mentors with assigned
students participating in the program. Org admin evaluations are
optional and are simply for us to continue improving the program.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Cheers,
Carol
