Past Years
Course Evaluations
Rare Book School employs a widely admired—though rarely imitated—course evaluation system in which attendees
write detailed prose accounts of their experience at the school. Their comments are then mounted permanently and
in their entirety on the school's website.
Evaluations for previous years may be accessed via the drop-down menu above.
