We use a feedback form each term, but only for university purposes.
To write something for LEAs strikes me as a waste of time. Just a list
of study skills dealt with in a session wouldn't convey what's done, and
fuller reports for each session and each student wouldn't be read.
WRT another email: hasn't the 10 or 23 hours got laid to rest? I've
certainly seen emails to that effect.
