Rant Feedback March 31, 2023 - 7:29pm

Thanks for adjudimentoring our Rants this year at CREATE. This form allows us to give feedback back to the students and to pick the 'Best Rant' award. Each rant is listed on a different page in the order they appear on the website. At the end we will also ask you for the two you felt were the best and why. We will also ask if you felt any were good candidates for our other awards and why. 

We hope you enjoyed your experience with the Rants!
