Course ratings in student evaluations

These are the ratings in the Recommended category that our Russian language courses have received from students in the recent years. More precisely, the category is "Would you recommend this course to other students with similar interests?" The averaged numbers come from the anonymous course evaluations we solicit (on paper) at the end of each semester. Not all courses are taught every year, but if a course was taught, its data is shown.
