Hi CMSC838f 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 graduate education and potential areas for improvement.
Please keep your written responses to a maximum of 3-5 sentences per question.
Note: the responses to these questions will be shared in aggregate form with your classmates.
The survey should take between
10 and 15 minutes to complete.
