Definition
Short for "Course and Teacher Evaluation Council," CTECS are the quarterly evaluations of 100- through 400-level courses, professors, and teaching assistants, performed anonymously by students for each course he/she took within that quarter. Students can review past CTECS on CAESAR before registering for classes. CTECs are available to read at all times, as long the viewing student has completed his/her own CTECs for the previous quarter. However, they only become available to write over a three-week period, starting one week prior to Reading Week up until the Sunday night after finals week.
