Fall of Communism - Spring 2003 - Part II

This survey is designed to discover how students used time in this course.

This survey is not to judge you or the class but to provide objective information about the class. Take the time to answer these questions honestly and sincerely. If you alter your answers to say what you think I want to hear, you will distort the study. To receive extra credit you only have to do the survey.

Responses will be kept confidential; I will not read them until after the final grades are done and I cannot link your name to specific responses. However, I need to know if you did the survey, so don't forget to enter your name on question 9 or you will not receive the extra credit. Make sure also to do all the other surveys.

When you are finished responding click "submit survey" at the bottom of the page so your responses can be recorded. Thanks!!
