Software Design End-of-Course Survey
Thanks for a great semester, despite all the craziness. We would greatly appreciate it if you could provide feedback on the course. Your responses will be used to adjust future iterations of the course. A couple notes for this survey:

* All questions are optional.
* Even spending a few minutes on some key questions, while leaving the rest of the survey unanswered, would be helpful. The more feedback you provide, the more this will help us improve the course in the future.
* Some of your feedback may be tailored specifically to the parts of the course that were before or after the shift to virtual learning. We do not yet know if we will have to teach an online or virtual version of the course again in the fall, so it would help if you indicate which parts of your written feedback apply to each part.
* Please feel free to be honest and direct in your feedback. We are always being evaluated and we need to be constantly improving in our craft, and your feedback is one of the most helpful ways to measure the effectiveness of our teaching.
* This course has a major redesign planned for the summer, so suggestions for improvement can be big ideas as well.
