Learning Communities Student Survey
Fall 2008
This survey asks you about your current Learning Community. This feedback is important to us. We will use your responses to help us improve Learning Communities at CSM.

Identifying information will be used to notify your instructor that you have completed the survey so that you may receive credit for doing so. Your instructor will see only a summary of class responses therefore your individual responses will be effectively anonymous.
