Evaluation of activities in implementing a project is essential for gauging the goals attained. Feedback from the community can be the basis for change to improve planned activities in the community. Evaluation strengthens the partnership between two organizations aiming for a common goal. The college secretary of the partner community, MIT Inc. - Marawi, has given a copy of the result of the evaluation of the September 2024 first seminar-training conducted by the Mathematics Department of CNSM, MSU. The feedback will be a basis for planning the second seminar-training of the REEL Extension Project.  The summary of the evaluation result was prepared by Prof. Analyn Malines, a member of the Mathematics Department Extension Committee. This document is one of the attachment in the Activity Undertaking Report (UESC Form 3) submitted to the MSU Main University Extension Services Center (UESC).
