If your instructor has assigned this instrument as part of your participation grade, he or she will be provided only with your name and told whether or not you completed the survey. Your instructor will not receive your individual results. The general results of the survey for your entire class will also be provided to your instructor at the end of the semester, but your name will be replaced with an anonymous tag. Therefore, your instructor will not be able to match results with individual students.
Your name will be used by us only to match the surveys that you complete at the beginning and end of the semester, and will not be published.
