| PROJECT EVALUATION | |
| Success rating (1 = unsuccesful, 5 = very successful) |
5 |
| Lessons/suggestions | We should have given ourselves more time to sort through the books and we could have devised a better records system. |
| ADDITIONAL COMMENTS | |
| Comments | We had our recruitment table right next to the booksale. This worked out great because when students asked us which anatomy atlas they should get we told them about how if they join AMSA they could get a free Netter's Atlas from Bank of America. |
