Undergraduate Student Survey- We Need Your Feedback!
by Logan Hagen 04 Jul '22

04 Jul '22

Good afternoon, My name is Logan Hagen, and I am an undergraduate research assistant working with Dr. Ritu Chaturvedi this summer on a study about academic misconduct among undergraduate computer science students. We are seeking student input on a short, anonymous survey that could help the school better design programming assignments, and overall course structure. Do you feel pressure to complete your programming assignments on time? Are you being provided with enough resources to succeed in your classes? Have you ever felt it wasn't clear what counts as academic misconduct and what does not? Your feedback could be used to better design assignments and courses this fall that assess student ability more accurately, as well as guide educational efforts to promote academic integrity. The survey is completely anonymous and will only take 2-3 minutes to complete. Survey link: https://uoguelph.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3wRtNZaglJM4YUC Thank you and enjoy the rest of your summer! Logan
