Precourse Survey
In an effort to make this class as user-friendly and successful as possible, the instructor will require some input from the student to determine levels of familiarity and comfort surrounding: controversial topics, computer fluency, software/program fluency and library research skills. To facilitate this information, a pre-course survey has been developed and will be given to the students at the beginning of the course. This will allow time to develop and implement any additional instruction needs that may arise for the student(s).
The survey can be accessed through Survey Monkey at the following link:
