I have been your teacher for the past 14 weeks now and this has been my first post as HBO teacher. Since I will go on teach the follow-up course and Lit2, I would love some feedback on how I can help you out better. Please write a TIP and a TOP (can also be more than one) on the piece of paper and put it on my desk (I'll shuffle them to make sure everything is anonymous!)
