Student Interest Survey

Answering these questions below will help me understand your interests more deeply which will allow me
to start to tailor your instruction and assessment directly to your present interests and curiosities. This
should be more fun and engaging for both myself as a teacher, and, more importantly, you as a student.

I am not requiring that you answer any questions in particular, only that you answer the questions that
you believe would most help this process as thoroughly as you are able.

I am the only one that will be viewing these responses.

Thank you for helping me and your fellow students by improving our shared classroom environment.
