Introduction

There is a Class Survey available in Desire2Learn. This survey is completely anonymous. Desire2Learn automatically compiles all the answers so that we will be able to get a "group portrait" of our class, but no one -- not even the instructor -- will be able to link your name with any specific question. As soon as people are done with the survey, I will share the results with you, since you are probably curious about your classmates too! You will find the Survey by clicking on the "Surveys" link in Desire2Learn's top navigation bar.

Please take the Survey and when you are finished, declare your work by taking the gradebook declaration quiz for this assignment in the "Declarations" section of Desire2Learn.

(Your Desire2Learn gradebook declaration is governed by the Honor Code).
