Survey for Instructors
Classroom Spaces at Carleton (Instructor Survey)
We would like to get your thoughts and opinions about the classroom spaces at
Carleton as a first step in improving those. The following questions are intended
to take 5-7 minutes of your time and if you provide your Carleton email address,
your name will be entered into a draw to win an iPad mini, or one of several $50
campus cards or $20 coffee cards. Otherwise, the survey is completely
anonymous.
Thank you for your help!
