Calculus Exit Survey

Below is a survey that we will use to help us make the course better for next year. Please answer all questions honestly (it will not effect your grade) but keep in mind that we do need to hold you responsible for learning the class information. Also keep in mind that we have feelings too and that you don't want to hurt them! :)

  1. One of the ways we tried to help you remember all topics was by giving you the "packets". Choose the statement that best describes how you feel about the packets.*

    I did them becuase they were a grade, but they didn't help much.
    They were just a plain pain in the rear!
    I mainly just copied off of a friend.

    I liked getting the whole packet at once and having several weeks to work on it.
