The goal of this survey is to gauge the quality of 22.033 at the mid-point of the semester, so we know what we're doing right and what we can do better. The following questions are designed to help us assess and improve a number of different aspects of the course. They all range on a scale from 1 to 5, with 1 being "least satisfied" and 5 being "most satisfied." Please answer all questions to the best of your ability. Section 1 - Course Content How satisfied are you with the rigor of the course so far? Since this is not a traditional homework-and-test course, this refers more to the level of depth that you are expected to reach in your design knowledge. How satisfied are you with the balance between the research, design, and communication responsibilities of this course? How satisfied are you with the relevance of the lectures to the design problem? How satisfied are you with the relevance of the recitations to the design problem? How satisfied are you with the leadership in engineering aspects of the design course? Have they helped you to develop engineering leadership skills, either as a team leader, an integrator, or as a designer? 1 (Least) 2 3 4 5 (Most) Additional Comments for This Question: 1 (Least) 2 3 4 5 (Most) Additional Comments for This Question: 1 (Least) 2 3 4 5 (Most) Additional Comments for This Question: 1 (Least) 2 3 4 5 (Most) Additional Comments for This Question: 1 (Least) 2 3 4 5 (Most) Additional Comments for This Question: 1 Section 2 - Pace of the Course How satisfied are you with the overall pace of the course so far? This includes evenness in work load, and anticipated front or back loading. How satisfied are you with the planned schedule of the design project, in terms of being able to complete the project in a timely and efficient manner? 1 (Least) 2 3 4 5 (Most) Additional Comments for This Question: 1 (Least) 2 3 4 5 (Most) Additional Comments for This Question: Section 3 - Course Content Applicability How satisfied are you with the applicability of the various skills you are learning to other areas of nuclear science and engineering? How satisfied are you with the applicability of the various skills you are learning to areas outside nuclear science and engineering, but including your abilities as an engineer in general? For those of you who have been using LyX for document creation, how satisfied are you with it as both a document creation tool and a document integration tool? 1 (Least) 2 3 4 5 (Most) Additional Comments for This Question: 1 (Least) 2 3 4 5 (Most) Additional Comments for This Question: 1 (Least) 2 3 4 5 (Most) Additional Comments for This Question: Section 4 - Quality of Teaching How satisfied are you with the lectures given in this course? 1 (Least) 2 2 3 4 5 (Most) Additional Comments for This Question: How satisfied are you with the one-on-one instruction, guidance, and assignment feedback given in this course? 1 (Least) How satisfied are you with the recitations in this course, in terms of learning skills that could help you with the design problem? 1 (Least) 2 3 4 5 (Most) Additional Comments for This Question: 2 3 4 5 (Most) Additional Comments for This Question: Section 5 - Course Assignments How satisfied are you with the work load and level of the assignments in the course so far? How satisfied are you with the frequency of assignments in this course, both past and planned? How satisfied are you with the relevance of the assignments to the design problem as a whole? How satisfied are you that the assignments are giving you skills that you could use as a scientist or engineer in the future? 1 (Least) 2 3 4 5 (Most) Additional Comments for This Question: 1 (Least) 2 3 4 5 (Most) Additional Comments for This Question: 1 (Least) 2 3 4 5 (Most) Additional Comments for This Question: 1 (Least) 2 3 4 5 (Most) Additional Comments for This Question: 3 Section 6 - Other Comments Please leave any other comments you wish the instructors to know, including any concerns, suggested changes, and positive or negative comments about the course.
