GEP testimonials

The GEP program is an optional class. Yet student attendances have remained consistently strong since 2003. As the classes are optional and not-for-credit, each lecture session is evaluated (not the subject as a whole). There were more than 1000 student attendances in 2006 and the overall average evaluation score was 4.34 on a scale of 5. This average has been maintained since 2003.
