cs1010: Beginning of Course Survey
Everyone in the class should submit this survey. 

Before submitting the survey, you should read the course syllabus (https://computingfor.github.io/syllabus/) and pledge (https://computingfor.github.io/pledge/).

The responses will influence what we do in class and help me design the course around the interests and backgrounds of students in the class.

The first question asks you for an email address which is necessary to be able to send you your responses (you can enter any email you want for this, but for the second question should provide your UVA email id).
