Geography 1
Student Learning Assessment
DO NOT WRITE YOUR NAME ON THIS FORM
As an instructor, it is important for me to assess the course content in terms of student learning. It is important that
you are honest with yourself as you complete the survey. This is anonymous and, frankly, I won’t have time to look at
the survey until long after your grade is submitted. Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.
