I agree with you on your opinion that this condition may be uncomfortable but Dr. P seems to make the best out of it and it does not appear to affect him greatly which I think is very important.

I agree with your suggestion to question #19. Maybe it is better to give multiple choice option for the GPA as opposed to leaving it as an open-ended answer. I also agree with defining what plan […]
