MA 109 Technology Survey

Please respond to the questions below by checking one of the options below each question, and including any comments. This survey may be submitted in one of two ways:

  1. Print this document, fill it in by hand, and turn it in to Leslie Turner, the department secretary, in STE 221b or box 112, with a post-it with your name on it (she will remove the post-it for confidentiality, but needs to track that every one in the class has responded).
  2. Edit this document in Word (select the ○ of your choice, and then type an X over it, and then just type in your comments). Then email it to Leslie at . Include your name in the email, but not on this survey.

These responses are confidential—Leslie will destroy any identifying information before the survey is analyzed.
