Survey #1 - Homework for First Class

During BUS 477, I will ask you to take 3 or 4 online surveys.

These short surveys take less than 5 minutes to answer.  They help me make adjustments to the course you are taking and improve BUS 477 for future students.

The surveys are anonymous and they count toward your participation grade.  I can tell who in the class has taken the survey, but I can't tell which response belongs to which student.  That means you have an anonymous outlet to share your true feelings about the class.  It also gives me another way to objectively assign your individual participation grade. 

How do the surveys work?  I provide a link (URL) to the survey on this website.  You follow the link, answer a few rating questions about the class and share any specific feedback or suggestions.  These are very short surveys, so I generally make them active for one week only. I will generally shut down a survey the evening before a class.   

I aim to share survey results on the class website and dedicate a few minutes of class time to it, as well.

Survey #1 - Pre-Class Survey

Before starting a class, I like to get an idea of the background of the students and what they want to accomplish in the class. This allows me to make adjustments to the assignments, guest speakers, road trips and other aspects of the class.

I also like to get an idea of your personal background and expectations, so I might do all I can to make the class relate to your personal goals.

If you are registered for BUS 477 or you are on the waitlist, please take a moment to answer this survey:

We will discuss the findings of this survey in the first class.
