Homework Survey - Final Cut

• Jackie, Erik, and Jason made some revisions and input.
• Process: We will give LaDonna the survey to input on Infinite Campus. We need to supply her with class lists. They will survey in the computer labs. We will give the survey the first week of the "Pit" unit...Feb. 19-22. Chris will work with LaDonna after we give survey to get data into interpretable form.
• Chris will change #5 on the survey to multiple choice and run it by administration to make sure that it is asked correctly.

We all signed up for Computer Lab (Feb. 19-22)
