Title: T: Getting to Know You Survey

Q: What name do you prefer to be called by the instructor and your peers in this class?

Pronouncing your name correctly is important to me: please feel free to write a phonetic pronunciation or to answer this question in audio by using the "upload/record media."

Q: If you wish to share pronouns (e.g. she/her/hers, he/him/his, they/their/theirs, or others) you would like me and your peers to refer to you by, please do.

Q: This question has two parts, both related to your goals in this course:

Why are you taking this class?  Do you have a prior interest in the topic?  Did it just seem interesting when you were signing up for classes?  Is this a required course for your degree?

If you go to the class syllabus and read the "learning objectives" section, which of these goals connects with a learning goal you have for yourself? Feel free to add a goal that might not be represented here.

Q: Research indicates that all students will participate in the "right" (for them) conditions. If you thought of a class you participated in actively for the question above, those conditions may have been met (both by you, and by the class)!

The participation of every student is central to our success in this class. While we all participate in ways that may not be fully comfortable or easy for us, what is one thing this class can do to support your participation? Be as honest as you can. While each class has constraints and not all supports are possible, it helps both of us to know what's been effective in the past.

Q: Did you know that 14% of undergrads (and 8% of graduate students) have disability-related accommodations through the Accessible Education Center (AEC)? If you have a disability (or suspect you do) but are not registered through AEC, I encourage you to contact them and learn more about both possible accommodations and other supports.

I strive to make my course materials accessible for all students. While responses to this question are not a replacement for formal AEC accommodations, if you have accessibility needs you'd like me to be aware of, know they are welcome.

Q: Do you have easy access to a personal computer and internet access for your computer?

Please note that if you do not, there are on-campus supports to connect students with laptops to borrow. See the Technology Checkout for Students page for more information.
