CMSC434 Fall 2014 Background Survey

Hi CMSC434 students,

This survey is intended to help me better understand your background and goals. Having more information about you, the student, will hopefully improve my ability to teach you and, consequently, improve the overall quality of the course. In addition, I think this survey provides a worthwhile exercise for you to reflect on your own education--whether you are getting what you need and want out of your Computer Science/Computer Engineering education and potential areas for improvement.

Please keep your written responses to a maximum of 3-4 sentences per question.

Thanks! Jon (and Matt)
