Students in CHEM-342 take the first 15 - 20 minutes at the beginning of the first day of class to fill out the following questionnaire and initial survey.  The questionnaire is used to create groups of about 4 or 5 students who starting working together on the second day of class.  The anonymous initial survey provides the instructor with a sense of the attitudes, experiences, and behaviors of the students in the class.  In addition to these, the final course evaluation form and peer-self-group evaluation forms are available.    Hal White
