Survey #3 - Class Satisfaction

By the end of the day, we will have completed 8 of 12 classes in BUS 477.  By now, you should have completed four assignments and have much of your final business plan completed.

Is BUS 477 turning out to be the course you thought it was?

Please take a few moments to tell me about your experience in BUS 477 so far by completing this short online survey.

Please be honest with your answers and as thorough as possible by sharing your thoughts in the comment boxes.  I use your feedback when I select guest speakers, supplementary materials and discussion topics.

Please take this survey now. It shouldn't take you more than 10 minutes. If I have 30 responses by Sunday evening, I will summarize the results and we can review in class next week.
