- KNOWLEDGE SURVEY - SPRING '09
This is a Knowledge Survey rather than a "test". There are no right or wrong answers. While you will not be graded on this survey, please be very candid in your responses!

By completing this survey, both at the beginning and at the end of the semester, your instructor will be able to gauge your initial level of knowledge and then measure the amount of knowledge you gain during the semester. This information will help your instructor modify and improve the course.

Read each statement carefully and then choose a response based on the following instructions:

Mark A as your response to the item if you are not confident in your skills in the area and do not feel you can adequately demonstrate these skills on a test.

Mark B as your response to the item if you feel somewhat confident that you are reasonably skilled in the area and can demonstrate these skills at a reasonable level on a test.

Mark C as your response to the item if you feel very confident that you are highly skilled in the area and can demonstrate these skills at a high level on a test.
