Beginning-of-semester survey: Getting to know each other

This is an ungraded and anonymous survey about your experiences and perceptions of

• your motivations for taking this course
• your motivators for your education more broadly
• your perception of your knowledge and competence in this subject
• your perceptions of your fellow students' knowledge and competence in this subject
• your personal values
• your perception of your fellow students' personal values
• your workload in this semester as well as past and future semesters
• stressors that have an effect on your well-being and performance at college

By taking this survey, you are helping your instructor gather important information that may allow them to understand and address your strengths, weaknesses and concerns. 

This survey is the beginning of a longer conversation about personal strengths, institutional culture, as well as personal and institutional values.
