Only those instructors who gave out ICES forms during the semester and who released their data for publication are included in the list.

Magee, Melissa Ocepek, Yoo-Seong Song, Jennifer Hain Teper, Ted Underwood, Elizabeth Wickes, and Melissa Wong. Holba-Puacz, Wickes, and Wong received the highest ranking of "outstanding."
