This survey will help us understand the background and goals of the students in this course. You will receive credit for submitting it, but your specific answers will not affect your grade in the course in any way. We ask for your name at the end of the survey so we can give you credit, but we will remove your name from your responses before we look at the data so that we never associate your name with your responses when we look at the response data.

You may skip any question that does not pertain to you or that you do not wish to answer. We thank you in advance for your response.
