Dear colleague:

THANK YOU for letting us know about your needs as an instructor using ESaaS!

All responses are ANONYMOUS unless you fill in personally identifiable information, all of which is optional.

There are just 12 questions, mostly multiple choice, and it should take less than 10 minutes of your time.

I will ONLY use this info to improve the ESaaS materials to make them more useful to as many instructors as possible. Since we are preparing to re-launch the 2nd Edition courses on edX, I may share your (anonymous) responses (BUT NOT YOUR CONTACT INFO OR EMAIL, even if you provide it) with edX as well, to improve the delivery of the courses.

Thank you again for your continued support of improving software engineering education!

Armando
