Overview

Just like faculty, each student has a unique history of experiences and opportunities that contribute to their engagement and success in the online classroom. It makes sense that each one is at a different stage and will develop at a rate that is consistent with their interests, motivations, personal challenges, and environment. Consider having your students complete a confidential Getting to Know You Survey in the first week of class. This will help you identify your high-need students and help you connect with them. 

...

Please complete this questionnaire so that I can get to know you better and learn about your goals for this course. I know some of these questions are very personal, and we don’t know each other (yet). I am asking you these questions because I care and want to be able to support you in your learning as best as I can. You may choose to skip any questions you do not feel comfortable answering. Your information will not be shared outside of this course.
