Trainers emailed me 18 separate instructor evaluations in mixed Word and PDF formats. I have one hour before the steering packet is due. Combine them into a single, searchable file that highlights courses scoring below 3.5 and lists trainer names next to their scores. Flag any missing instructor IDs or illegible scans. I can't re-survey students; I just need a clean, findable file for the meeting.
